SAP Open Source
We believe in co-innovation and collaboration with open source. With a growing engagement in foundations and projects, we would like to encourage developers to contribute to open source projects that we are sharing and supporting to empower our ecosystem.
The SAP Open Source Report 2023 has been published! This report is a comprehensive overview of SAP’s open source journey. It provides examples of contributions to open source and InnerSource projects over the past year. Additionally, it highlights key initiatives, such as foundations and collaborations that have shaped the open-source landscape, reflecting our dedication to openness, inclusivity, and technological advancement.
Join us on April 10th at 3:00 pm CEST/ 1:00 pm UTC/ 9:00 am EST for a webinar about BTP Solution Diagram Repository with speakers Fabian Lehmann and Liza Pilarczyk, SAP. This repository contains an updated design guideline, examples, and libraries to use this in the open source diagramming tool draw.io.
Liza and Fabian will give an overview about this new central entry point and give insights how this activity is connected with SAP BTP Reference Architectures in SAP Discovery Center and how we collaborate with LeanIX in this area.
The SAP Open Source Program Office published a new podcast episode with Clare Dillon about open source and InnerSource at universities.
Clare is an open source and InnerSource advocate and is currently a researcher with University of Galway and Lero, the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Software.
In this episode she explains how collaborative, community-driven approaches to open-source development at universities result in greater knowledge sharing, but also what the academia-specific challenges to open approaches are
Tune in now!
InnerSource at SAP is evolving over time with new activites and approches. SAP has established an InnerSource strategy to describe how the application of InnerSource relates to our corporate goals and business strategy. Besides, development teams get tangible examples of InnerSource approaches through case studies and success stories.
To provide a simple entry point and an easy to digest learning structure for the training material about InnerSource, the so-called InnerSource Dojo provides a great learning experience.
Learn more about SAP's InnerSource practise in this recent blog post by Michael Picht.
