First time commenter on these patterns. I've observed that although the title of this pattern seems to be "Incentive mechanisms to foster voluntary contribution" (differs from the filename, but that's a different matter), the gist of the pattern seems to be finding ways to recast the contribution effort as something other than voluntary. That is, not that the contribution is "compulsory," but that the contribution is a part of the InnerSource participant's compensation. I've done some thinking about the differences between Open Source volunteerism (where an individual is contributing to an Open Source project on their own, uncompensated time), versus InnerSource where, as an employee of a company, labor laws often prohibit you from "volunteering" your time. Is there a way to remove the word "volunteer" from InnerSource? I believe that the idea that we're "volunteering" on an InnerSource project is what sets some project managers against the idea of InnerSource. |

Thanks for commenting, @dmittman . I like that point. |

We have reworked the different maturity levels of our patterns. Based on that, Donuts should be able to be merged into master much faster. Given that this is only a Donut (i.e. no solution yet), I would suggest to rebase this branch on master, move the file to folder Any objections @gruetter? |

…the Donut pattern directly, rather than to the PR. Also adapted pattern slightly to fit the current Pattern template better.

Trying to get this branch into a mergeable shape turned out to be hard, as it is so old. Therefore I cherrry-picked just the Donut file, and included it in #254 so that it can get into the mainline soon. Closing this PR here as we don't need it any more. |

* Remove the extra group "Reviewed Pattern Ideas (not yet proven but reviewed)". Also adapt status in the patterns accordingly. Rational: by definition the 1-Initial patterns don't have a Known Instance yet, i.e. they are not proven. Therefore we don't need an extra group to state this. * Move all patterns that have a patlet already out of the extra group "Pattern Ideas (not yet proven; brainstormed)". Those pattern are similar in quality to the ones that we already list in "### Maturity Level 1: Initial", so they don't have to be in an extra group. * Move remaining patterns from sub-group "Pattern Ideas (not yet proven; brainstormed)" to "Maturity Level 1: Initial". Also updating the Status in the patterens themselves. Rational: * These patterns were not all that different from the ones directl in "Maturity Level 1: Initial". * Often times they don't have a solution yet, or just a brainstormed solution. * Many of them don't have a Patlet, likely because they were written at a time when the Pattern Template didn't ask for that yet * update links to point to files, rather than to PRs * port the Donut pattern from old PR #38 into this, so that we can link to the Donut pattern directly, rather than to the PR. Also adapted pattern slightly to fit the current Pattern template better. * various other smaller fixes Co-authored-by: Georg Grütter <[email protected]>
In hierarchical and silo-organized organizations, getting voluntary contributions in InnerSource projects can be challenging. It is crucial to create mechanisms to incentivize managers to foster voluntary contributions.
Hey everyone. Here's a new donut from the Bosch guys. Have at it ;)
