FINOS InnerSource Special Interest Group

InnerSource can help break down silos, encourage internal collaboration and innovation, accelerate new engineer on-boarding, and identify opportunities to contribute software back to the open source world.

Introducing the InnerSource SIG

The FINOS InnerSource Special Interest Group is a community of people implementing, or interested in implementing, InnerSource within their financial services organization.

The InnerSource SIG is of particular importance to financial services organisations who wish to accelerate their InnerSource practices, share best practices, patterns and anti-patterns and potentially related code (e.g. for InnerSource tooling) in a secure environment, with the aim of contributing proven methods to FINOS and the wider InnerSource Commons community.

Where appropriate, the InnerSource SIG will also work with InnerSource Commons to share relevant outputs upstream to the broader InnerSource community.

Discussions have an emphasis on challenges and concerns that are particular to FS organizations (e.g. relating to compliance or regulatory constraints).

The InnerSource SIG target audience are individuals responsible for InnerSource implementation within financial services organizations, those in Open Source Program Offices interested in open source culture, behaviour and skills, or tech leaders wishing to increase collaboration and remove / deal with excessive ownership issues that can stall innovation.

Quick start

InnerSource License Generator Working Group

The InnerSource SIG is actively developing a tool that can be used to generate InnerSource Licenses. This work is in progress in FINOS Labs and you are welcome to join the development effort InnerSource License Generator - Github

Mailing List

All SIG related communications are conducted through the [email protected] mailing list. Email [email protected] with questions or suggestions for collaboration use cases. Join the mailing list and stay up to date by sending a note to [email protected].

Contributing

  1. Fork it (https://github.com/finos/innersource/fork)
  2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b feature/fooBar)
  3. Read our contribution guidelines and Community Code of Conduct
  4. Make your changes on the fork. Ensure any documentation and code changes are formatted correctly by executing npm run fmt (see below for setup instructions). If npm run fmt isn't executed, the build will fail.
  5. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some fooBar')
  6. Push to the branch (git push origin feature/fooBar)
  7. Create a new Pull Request

NOTE: Commits and pull requests to FINOS repositories will only be accepted from those contributors with an active, executed Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA) with FINOS OR who are covered under an existing and active Corporate Contribution License Agreement (CCLA) executed with FINOS. Commits from individuals not covered under an ICLA or CCLA will be flagged and blocked by the FINOS Clabot tool. Please note that some CCLAs require individuals/employees to be explicitly named on the CCLA.

Need an ICLA? Unsure if you are covered under an existing CCLA? Email [email protected]

Workstation Setup

To ensure a smooth contributing experience, please ensure you follow the workstation setup. This project makes use of Prettier to format all Markdown documentation to ensure consistency across the whole repository. Prettier is built on Node.js, which will need to be installed. To ensure your document changes are formatted correctly, follow these steps:

  1. Install the latest LTS Node.js either by downloading an installer, using a package manager like Homebrew (brew install node@16 as of this writing), or a version manager like nvm or asdf.
  2. npm install - NPM now ships with every Node.js installation.
  3. npm run fmt - this executes the formatting script.
