“…That's why we cast the proposed best practices in the form of interconnected patterns. Patterns and pattern languages (sets of interconnected patterns) have been used for this purpose in the past, namely by Hannebauer and Gruhn [13], when presenting an overview of the current state of research via 40 open source patterns. In our previous work beyond open source governance, we also used the same format of theory presentation in publications on corporate open sourcing [18] and user and experience design in software product lines.…”

Corporate open source governance aims to manage the increasing use of free/libre and open source software (FLOSS) in companies. To avoid the risks of the ungoverned use, companies need to establish processes addressing license compliance, component approval, and supply chain management (SCM).We proposed a set of industry-inspired best practices for supply chain management organized into a handbook. To evaluate the handbook, we ran a one-year case study at a large enterprise software company, where we performed semi-structured interviews, workshops, and direct observations. We assessed the initial situation of open source governance, the implementation of the proposed SCM best practices, and the resulting impact.We report the results of this study by demonstrating and discussing the artifacts created while the case study company implemented the SCM-focused governance process. The evaluation case study enabled the real-life application and the improvement of the proposed best practices.

“…Patterns and pattern languages have been used in the past to present different concepts of open source use, development, and governance. Among others, Hannebauer and Gruhn [16] presented an overview of the current state of research on OSS patterns, including 40 published patterns, their key topics, and relationships between them. In our previous work beyond open source governance, we also used the same format of theory presentation in publications on corporate open sourcing [20] user and experience design in software product lines [22].…”

Open source software usage in companies is on the rise, often resulting in lower development costs, higher quality, and quick availability of code. However, using open source software in products comes with legal, business, and technical risks. Experienced companies prevent and address these risks through corporate open source governance. In our previous work, we studied how top-tier companies got started with corporate open source governance. We proposed a set of industry best practices on the topic, using the practical format of interconnected contextproblem-solution patterns. In this study, we put the proposed state-of-the-art practices to the test by evaluating their real-life application in a case study at a Germany-based multibillion-dollar corporation with products in four distinct industries and more than 17000 employees worldwide. In the course of two and a half years, we conducted 35 semi-structured employee interviews and workshops in five divisions of the company to assess the initial situation of open source governance, the process of getting started with governance following our recommendations, and the outcomes. In this paper, we report the results of this longitudinal case study by presenting the artifacts created while getting started with open source governance, as well as the transferability evaluation of the proposed best practices, both individually and collectively.
