SAP Open Source
We believe in co-innovation and collaboration with open source. With a growing engagement in foundations and projects, we would like to encourage developers to contribute to open source projects that we are sharing and supporting to empower our ecosystem.
SAP has launched an Open Source Manifesto, which reaffirms our commitment to driving innovation through openness and transparency.
Read more about SAP’s open source principles in the News Center article by Michael Ameling, EVP, Chief Product Officer at SAP BTP.
Building on our 26-year open source journey, SAP is ranked as one of the top ten commercial contributors to open source on GitHub Open Source Contributor Index. Our new manifesto reflects our enduring commitment to the open-source community as a major contributor.In this webinar, Tobias Gabriel who is senior developer in the SAP Open Source Program Office, showed and demonstrated the use of Renovate for dependency updates, his motivation to contributing to this tool, and talked about SAP’s cultural shift towards automation with dependency management.
In this episode, host Karsten Hohage speaks with Simon Heimler (SAP) about Open Resource Discovery (ORD) – a protocol that allows applications and services to self-describe their exposed resources and capabilities.
Simon explains in more detail what ORD is, how it’s used and where at SAP we already use ORD or plan to use it in the future. As the platform is an open standard by SAP geared towards the SAP ecosystem, how do we ensure a correct adoption of ORD at SAP? And how can it be helpful for individuals outside of SAP?
InnerSource at SAP is evolving over time with new activites and approches. SAP has established an InnerSource strategy to describe how the application of InnerSource relates to our corporate goals and business strategy. Besides, development teams get tangible examples of InnerSource approaches through case studies and success stories.
To provide a simple entry point and an easy to digest learning structure for the training material about InnerSource, the so-called InnerSource Dojo provides a great learning experience.
Learn more about SAP's InnerSource practise in this recent blog post by Michael Picht.
