## Mission Statement

Expand Down Expand Up @@ -100,6 +100,7 @@ Our mission
* [Centralized InnerSource Repository Governance](patterns/1-initial/centralized-repository-governance.md) - *InnerSource repositories lose contributor readiness when project hygiene drifts across teams. A central governance repository defines readiness checks as policy-as-code and runs automated audits that help Trusted Committers and repository maintainers keep projects discoverable, understandable, and contribution-ready without removing local ownership.*
* [InnerSource as a Career Booster](patterns/1-initial/innersource-as-career-booster.md) - *Many employees wonder how contributing to InnerSource projects benefits their careers beyond their immediate team objectives. By engaging in InnerSource, individuals expand their skills, grow their network, increase visibility across the organization, and unlock new career opportunities.*
* [Migrating from InnerSource to Open Source](patterns/1-initial/migrating-from-innersource-to-open-source.md) - *When an InnerSource project succeeds internally and meets criteria for external release, organizations often lack a structured approach for the transition. Establish a process that addresses legal, security, governance, and community readiness to transition the project to open source while maintaining its internal value.*
* [Transparent Catalog of Privacy Controls and Posture](patterns/1-initial/transparent-catalog-privacy-controls-posture.md) - *Large organizations often have no standardized, discoverable set of privacy controls that engineering teams can implement against, and no reliable visibility into which teams actually comply with existing privacy requirements, so risk stays hidden until an audit or incident surfaces it. Publish a version-controlled Privacy Controls Catalog as the shared baseline, open to engineering-proposed refinements but authored by privacy/legal, and maintain a separate, access-tiered Privacy Posture Register through the same pull-request and trusted-committer workflow, so compliance becomes a continuously queryable property of the codebase instead of a periodic audit exercise.*
