+# Inner source framework
+
+Adopting inner source methodology help companies on:
+
+-   Effective resources management, with better code/knowledge reuse
+    and cost sharing accross the different units
+
+-   Faster technology innovations/improvements, since the code is
+    developed collaboratively and transparently by interested people and
+    units
+
+-   Empowered employees, increasing engagement by letting them to be
+    part of companies development roadmap
+
+-   Higher inner-innovation, by allowing employees to propose new ideas
+    implementation based on company’s technology/knowledge
+
+But any project, even open source ones, need a framework
+that support them defining:
+
+-   clear policies for contributors, to manage meritocracy (or do-cracy)
+
+-   tools and communication channels
+
+-   community culture
+
+-   who pays it?
+
+-   metrics and KPIs
+
+Let's introduce the *inner source framework*.
+
+## Governance
+
+As described by OSSWatch[^1]:
+
+>A governance model describes the roles that project participants 
+>can take on and the process for decision making within the project. 
+>In addition, it describes the ground rules for participation in the 
+>project and the processes for communicating and sharing within 
+>the project team and community
+
+Usually the governance model is a written document containing:
+
+-  project goals
+
+-  work, management and collaboration infrastructures definition
+
+-  people roles and responsabilities definitions
+
+-  community support mechanisms 
+
+-  decision making process policies description
+
+-  contribution process policies description
+
+-  monitoring policies and mechanisms description
+
+## Technical infrastructure
+
+## Collaboration as cultural change
+
+## Finnancial support
+
+## Processes measurement

+>is the first step toward community.” – Henry Lewis Gates (professor at
+>Harvard)
