I pushed some changes to align the pattern with our pattern template.

Overall I think this is an interesting pattern, that has some way to go before being ready to be published to our book though.

My main concerns right now are:

• The Solution section contains multiple different things. What are the core aspects of the solution? Maybe we could try to group the bullets into categories, and give each category a distinct name to find out what the overarching themes of the solution are.
• How is this pattern related to other patterns like InnerSource Portal and Gig Marketplace?
• Not sure what to do with the "Discussion on" section. this seems more like meeting notes from a discussion that must have happened a long time ago. Maybe we can ask people that are still around if they remember anything about this pattern, like @gruetter and @NewMexicoKid

Besides that, we would have to check the requirements here before publishing to the book: Contributor Handbook - Requirements for maturity 'Structured'

If the ambition here is to have a better version of this pattern merged into our repo, I would recommend to leave this in the Initial state (and folder) for a bit longer. This would allow us to make some fixes and merge these PRs faster.

If the ambition is to get this pattern live in our book, then we will have to invest quite some work here and keep the PR open for a while.

Either way is fine with me, I just want to prevent frustrations as I don't know what your expectations are here.

Btw @jeffabailey if you want to use this pattern as a way to learn what it takes to get a pattern ready for publication in the book, by all means, keep pushing :) Just it might not be the easiest path on this particular pattern, as the current content of the pattern leaves a lot of room for improvement.

Awesome, thank you!

This, TBH! :)

Sounds like a great challenge and learning opportunity.

I'll read through more of the published patterns to align this one closer to the others.

I was having a conversation with @rrrutledge about what constitutes an approachable and useful pattern.

The patterns listed on the fearless change website are an interesting overlay to the patterns.

I really like "Discover Your InnerSource" name for the pattern.

What do you think about the name?

How is this pattern related to other patterns like InnerSource Portal and Gig Marketplace?

Another great question to answer after defining the appropriate name and scope for this pattern.
