The InnerSource Commons community has grown organically during the last years. The community meets every six months, at summits in the US and in the EU—and at each, approximately 75% of the attendees are new.

Daniel Izquierdo explains how he’s working to bring all of this expertise and knowledge into the Spanish industry. Run mainly by InnerSource Commons enthusiasts, the Spanish InnerSource ecosystem has been running several meetups during the last months. Join in to hear the first steps and experiences of these meetups as well as the difficulties faced and the lessons learned.

Topics include:

  • Starting InnerSource Spain
  • Marketing actions and the difficulty of gaining attraction
  • Is InnerSource the right term to use for marketing?
  • How can we do business about InnerSource in Spain?
