Good Consumers of Open Source

[twentysixmoons]

We have our general aspirations around open source https://app.arachne.digital/the-open-source-ecosystem/,

How might we frame this up as a list of things companies should do to be "good consumers" of open source?

We want it to be a list of practices that organizations can measure themselves against and say they adhere to.

@KadeMorton has tried to have conversations with Mozilla and GitHub in the past about creating something like this, but I didn't hear back from them. They interacted with the author of the Approachable Open Source book on LinkedIn. He may have some ideas about this, would have a lot of contacts, and seems pretty accessible to reach out to.

Here's a short list of steps I made to get started

• Create a project brief - Google document
• Draft list
• Initial Research
• identify potential partners
• Reach out to partners
• Solidify lists with partners
• Publish list

There should be a way to highlight folks doing well.

Any resources of similar lists or score cards for research purposes are appreciated.
