In 2016, Thales Group initiated a pioneering move within the industry by implementing a group-wide Inner Source Program, guided by an Inner Source Program Office (ISPO) framework. Consequently, we sought the expertise of the Eclipse Foundation to kickstart our program. Our collaboration has been a real game changer: in a matter of months, we established foundational governance principles through a charter inspired by Eclipse Foundation’s best practices. This strategic partnership not only expedited the maturation of our Inner Source Program but also enhanced it through the expertise of their consultants.

Collaborating with the Eclipse Foundation has been a great experience. Their guidance and expertise played a key role in the successful implementation of our open source and Inner Source program, as well as in establishing our Open Source Program Office (OSPO). This OSPO has strengthened our governance, improved compliance, and fostered a culture of collaboration across the organisation. The Eclipse Foundation consultants brought solid knowledge of the open source ecosystem and provided practical insights that made a real difference. We truly appreciate their support and look forward to continuing this partnership.

The Eclipse Foundation delivered an exciting lecture on open source software fundamentals, best practices, licences and business models. The talk was attended by many faculty members, PhD and postgraduate students, including members of the newly founded open source community at the University of Macedonia. The presentation sparked lively discussions, eventually highlighting the multiple ways open source can be considered within a tertiary education institute. Their ability to convey the benefits of going open source and stimulating positive reactions from researchers is unprecedented. We are grateful to the Eclipse Foundation for their strong involvement.
