This particular webinar for OSR featured the second in a series of collaborations between FINOS and InnerSource Commons. Aaron's presentation was integral in showing how InnerSource can work from the ground up in banks, even when there is not a top-down emphasis (yet), highlighting collaboration efforts of different groups. 

Panelists from this OSR session also discussed Aaron's questions on how to get better at InnerSourcing in early stages within your organization.
