 ## Known Instances
 
-TBD
+* **Thales Group** - InnerSource contributions are part of the expert career path at Thales. The Thales ISPO positioned InnerSource participation as demonstrable proof of leadership and expertise, which engineers can reference when seeking the expert career path. The rationale: building communities around specific topics on top of their operational commitments demonstrates leadership and recognised expertise on those topics.

+- **Thales Group** calls these representatives "Steering Board members." Each Community Leader represents an InnerSource community within their organizational unit and meets quarterly with the Thales ISPO in a "Steering Board" session to surface blockers and emerging needs from the field. The ISPO carries these inputs to the executive sponsorship board, creating a structured bottom-up/top-down governance loop.

+* **Thales Group** - Thales I/O Days combine a full remote 2-day Hackathon and annual in-person conference with a reward ceremony for key contributors — open to all job families, not only engineering. See: [Why People Matter Most: Building a Sustainable InnerSource Strategy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0dx84lUDYY) (InnerSource Commons, 2026, by Marius Moulis).
 * **The Aerospace Corporation** organized an internal InnerSource contribution festival inspired by open source contribution festivals at conferences like KubeCon/CloudNativeCon. Aerospace is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) where developers charge time to government contracts, making InnerSource adoption especially challenging because work not embedded in funded tasking does not happen. The event was organized by a software best practices team and held as a hybrid event (virtual and in-person in El Segundo, California). They secured dedicated funding so that all 31 participants across 21 departments could charge their time to the event. Tasks were prepared with project maintainers, documented with clear definitions of done and impact statements, and organized on task boards. At least one maintainer from every participating project was available for Q&A throughout the day. During and shortly after the event, 15 tickets were closed. Notably, one developer used the event to contribute a feature he needed back to an internal library rather than forking it — a direct demonstration of InnerSource solving the "fork storm" problem the company had been experiencing. Two-thirds of participants had never heard of InnerSource before the event, yet 100% of survey respondents agreed that InnerSource would have a positive impact on development and wanted to participate in a future event. Traffic to the company's internal documentation site nearly doubled in the month following the event.
