Promote State of Innersource Survey

Tasks:

Promoting the Survey:

• Get in touch with Clare to check when she will want you to promote the survey. End of May / Beginning of June
• In the month or so before the survey’s deadline, you need to promote the survey by:
• Adding the link to the survey on the website banner. When the official deadline for responses is reached, double check with Clare about whether she would like the link left up for a bit longer.
• Adding details of the survey at the very top of each newsletter. See this newsletter for a typical post about the survey.

Promoting the survey and the deadline on social

• Here are the canva slides for both the survey and the report. For the last few years, they haven’t really changed. Use bit.ly to add a QR code for the survey on the Canva slide.
• Link in with Olive about asking moderators to share the survey links at each community call.
• Also, talk to Clare and Lori together on slack about promoting the survey on slack. I’m not sure which one will take responsibility about promoting the survey on our general channel and also on specific groups.
• If the survey is live or about to be launched during the annual InnerSource Summit, be sure to share the slide and links to survey anytime that it’s mentioned during conversations.

Update from Slack: We have now got a completed draft of the State of InnerSource Survey 2025. Thanks to Hi all, we have now finalised the survey text and format for the State of InnerSource Survey 2025. Huge thanks to@Sally Deering who has reviewed from an OSPO perspective and @dizquierdo who has reviewed from both a practitioner and research perspective. You can preview the survey here. Please note responses will not be saved from preview version - so save your real input until it is published!

For the first time we hope to make the survey available in multiple languages - we have chosen Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish for the first localised versions because of the local community activity in countries that speak those languages. I am looking for volunteers to check the auto-generated translations. The translations are available here to review. If you are free to review and make any necessary changes, that would be amazing. I have tagged folks in Slack who might be available to help out (or know someone who can). The deadline for the translation input/review is August 10th.

The new plan for launch is mid August - and we will keep open to the end of Sep, complete analysis in Oct and have the results ready for the summit in November.
