==== Agile and InnerSource - a Match Made in Heaven
As organizations increasingly adopt hybrid development approaches, understanding the synergy between Agile and InnerSource practices becomes crucial. InnerSource has gained significant momentum, being featured on Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Software Engineering and recognized as a transformative approach to software development. With over 750 companies actively participating in the InnerSource Commons community and major organizations from across all industry verticals embracing these practices, the integration of Agile and InnerSource methodologies represents a critical evolution in modern software development.
Join us to explore the fascinating intersection of Agile methodologies and InnerSource practices in this hands-on workshop. Participants will discover how these two approaches naturally complement each other while addressing potential friction points. Through submitted papers, practical exercises and collaborative sessions, attendees will learn to leverage the best of both worlds to enhance software development practices within their organizations.
We’ll cover themes such as:
Agile-InnerSource Integration: Understanding how agile principles align with InnerSource practices
Coordination Mechanisms: Exploring non-traditional coordination approaches that work in both contexts
Team Dynamics: Managing distributed teams while maintaining agile values
Release Strategies: Balancing frequent releases with quality control
Cultural Transformation: Building a collaborative culture that embraces both methodologies
We invite practitioners and researchers to submit 2-4 page experience reports or position papers addressing:
* Case studies of Agile-InnerSource integration
* Challenges and solutions in implementing both approaches
* Metrics for measuring success in hybrid environments
* Cultural transformation experiences
* Tools and techniques for supporting hybrid development
Please note that these short submissions will not be part of the post-conference proceedings.

==== The Third International Workshop on Global and Hybrid Work in Software Engineering (GoHyb)
Call for Papers
The Covid-19 pandemic forced software engineers to work fully remotely, making it necessary for everyone to quickly learn how to efficiently collaborate and use tools for remote work. Now, after the pandemic, many software engineering organizations are adopting hybrid ways of working, creating new opportunities for individuals and companies. However, hybrid work also brings challenges: teams and companies need to agree on the new ways of working. Is there something we can learn from global software engineering that can be used in hybrid work? How are hybrid agile teams going to work in the future? What is going to be the new normal for software engineering in the world of hybrid work?
Submission Guidelines & Themes
There are two submission categories: i) 8-page full papers; and ii) short industrial presentations.
Full papers: We encourage submissions of contributions describing different stages of research, from position papers and work-in-progress to complete research reports, as well as industry experience reports. We welcome both research and industry papers.
Short industry presentations: We welcome industry experiences, challenges, solutions and ideas for topics that would benefit from rigorous research. Presentation suggestions can be submitted in the format of a 2-page paper or max 5 slides describing the main idea, the presenters and their experience in the topic.
GoHyb seeks submissions describing novel research, experience reports, as well as emerging ideas. We are interested in studies describing original and unpublished results in the field of global and hybrid work in software engineering. The focus of the workshop is on new promising ideas and therefore work-in-progress reports are welcome to ignite discussion in the workshop. The industrial presentations aim to bring the industry viewpoint by discussing current challenges, solutions and new ideas on the topic.
