The FINOS InnerSource SIG is creating an InnerSource Maturity Model and would like to create an Infographic that represents the relationship between InnerSource vs Open Source (pros/cons/differences) cc @godds

@claredillon will join OSR to represent the InnerSource SIG as OSR moves forward with the OSR Open Source Maturity Model (finos/InnerSource#26).

I just noticed that this issue contains no notes from the call. Retroactively adding some here:

2021-08-04

• First meeting of the group as a SIG
  • Was a project before
  • OSR dates back to the Symphony days (pre-FINOS)
  • Few fintech companies had started FOSS practice stuff back then
    • Needed experienced advice
  • Lots of progress since then
    • More institutional knowledge among the members now
  • Changed to a SIG to get more participation from members
    • Want to draw out that institutional knowledge
• Collaboration with Wipro
  • Co-chair this SIG along w/friends at RBC (Sandeep Dadlani (SD))
• First project of SIG: Open Source Maturity Model (OSMM)
  • Contributing an instantiation of the OSMM
  • v3.0, but lots of room for contribution
• But first…roll call
• Background on the OSMM
  • Intent
    • Where they are, where they'd like to be, how to get there
  • FINOS has existing OSR assessment & maturity framework
    • Will incorporate and evolve
  • Will be self-service
    • Survey -> output
      • placement on OSMM
      • spider chart
      • interview summaries
  • Current state analysis, then future state planning
  • Implement then refine
• Explanation of the model
  • Dimentions -> Elements -> Maturity stage
• Attendee 1: A single org may have different opinions about goals
  • How does the model help with that?
  • Helps orgs know where they are; not judging
    • Up to them to determine which stage is right for them
• Good to see Innersource in OSMM; that SIG working on own maturity model
  • Integrate?
  • Innersource SIG: YES, PLEASE
  • Absolutely; failure if we don't do this
• OSMM implementation plan
  • Present today
  • Move docs to FINOS GH by Aug 26th
    • Glossary
    • Explanation of output
    • Model internals
  • Release next version before next SIG meeting (Sept 01)
  • Go live target: Sept 09
    • Depends on feedback, release of FINOS new website
• Participating
  • Want input on the model itself
    • Design, workflow, process
  • Step up to take ownership of a dimension or element
    • For instance, Innersource SIG take ownership of that element
  • Help with docs
  • Looking for folks here to create content (blog post, white paper, etc)
  • Will need some collateral & PR
• What license for OSMM?
  • In active talks about that, but something CC, probably SA
  • CC-SA being socialised inside; expect no push back
• Attendee 2: Starting this journey internally
  • For this, guided website to help people get to where they want to go
    • Template policies for certain stages
  • Interesting question
    • Would be a highly advanced evolution
    • But have found the policies aren't important to the journey
  • v1.0 OSS policies typically are reactive in nature & restrictive
    • We recommend doing strategy first: what do you want to do with FOSS?
    • This will inform the policy
    • Don't do a policy in a vacuum w/o the processes
    • Strategy + policy + process needed for something truly descriptive
• How to contribute to OSMM?
  • Different formats for different elements of the model
  • Implementation based on FINOS IT
  • Wipro will deliver implementable model & the survey
  • Format for these will require more conversations w/the FINOS team
• Email aaron@finos.org to be added to the FINOS OSR list
  • Or email to osr+subscribe finos.org
• Slack channel as well

I am good with these notes.
