" • Started by Linus Torvalds 2005 (search “torvalds git” on youtube) • Easy branching and merging - content oriented, remembers origin • Small and fast - local operations, smaller repos • Distributed - VCS on my laptop, full copy incl. history • Data assurance - sha1, gpg • Staging area - crafted, meaningful commits • Free and open source
sourcing code 15 " • Great advertising for you and your company… translat[ing] into goodwill for [your company] and more superfans than ever before • Attract outside contributions : create a force multiplier that helps you get more work done faster and cheaper. More users means more use cases being explored which means more robust code • Attract talent : Smart people like to hang out with other smart people. Smart developers like to hang out with smart code. • Best technical interview possible, the one you don’t have to do because the candidate is already kicking • Retain talents

a lot of work that wasn't truly open source — i.e. out-of-the-box useful to the community at-large The enthusiasm our team showed for open source led the Guild to next develop a set of Open Source First principles to institutionalize this openness. These principles encourage our engineers to share their code instead of hide it inside private repos, as well as "take ownership," "be safe," "provide documentation," and "ask for help."

Source CONSUMING CONTRIBUTING RELEASING EMBRACING Using open source software. What are the basics of open source? How do I find projects? How do I evaluate the quality and health of projects? How do I stay on top of security vulnerabilities? What are the basics of licensing? What do I need to do to comply with the license?
Source CONSUMING CONTRIBUTING RELEASING EMBRACING Contributing back to the projects you use. How do I report issues? How do I use GitHub? What do I need to know about IP?
Source CONSUMING CONTRIBUTING RELEASING EMBRACING Creating new open source projects. How do I get my source code ready for release? How do I choose a license? What else do I need to know about IP? How do I build a community? What other tools do I need for my community?
Source CONSUMING CONTRIBUTING RELEASING EMBRACING Strategically participating in open source. How can we get a competitive advantage? What open source releases show leadership? How effective is our open source involvement? What communities do we want to hire from? How do we work like an open source project internally?
the core tenets of InnerSource? 30 " • Everyone is expected to contribute and participate in reviews and mentoring • Contributions are judged based on their merits • All decisions are discussed publicly, stored indefinitely, and can be searched • Code and commentary are widely available • Autonomous organization of teams, self organizing and alignment
