Sustainable InnerSource donut pattern
Capturing a conversation with @voongc: Are sustainability and scaling two separate donut patterns?
Assumptions on what the solution may contain:
- You have to scale to sustain
- There needs to be some sort of investment (e.g. ISPO, training, championing)
- You need to measure/prove value constantly to sustain
- You need training
- You need to have InnerSource libraries that are critical to business success
- You need to integrate InnerSource as a implementation of a collaborative culture
Interesting topic @tsadler1988.
Looking forward to seeing your first draft.
One initial concern that I have is that the topic may run at risk of becoming too large for a single pattern. But curious to see how you might slice it and make it smaller.
We captured the idea of a pattern dedicated to ISPO here but that idea wasn't super clear yet either. But take a look: https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/issues/365

Yes I could see this being separate patterns, with ISPO being one potential solution to the problem of scaling and sustaining. We mainly wanted to frame the problem of scaling/sustaining and see what the community can advise.
Also see extensions-to-manage-contributions-at-scale for a project but some items can be applicable to a program
Marked this donut pattern as ready for review, and updated the description.
@tsadler1988 looks like we forgot about this Donut a bit :)
As this was meant to be contributed as a Donut (i.e. no proven solution yet), shall we try to get it merged, to allow for others to find it more easily.
If you could review the comments on this PR, that would be awesome. If you don't have time for this, please let me know, then I will try to get it into a "mergeable state" myself.
@spier I think comments are now addressed and ready for another iteration of reviews :)
@tsadler1988 forgot to mention that I changed the filename of the pattern. Please pull the latest commits before making further changes.
Suggestion added for the in-line citation styling, otherwise I think this is done now.
