Description

How to motivate orgs to contribute their experiences with our patterns back to the community?

A small contribution would be to list themselves as a Known Instance on the pattern, possibly with a couple of sentences about how they have used the given pattern.

A great example of such a Known Instance description from the 30 Day Warranty pattern:

Microsoft recommends this pattern as a principle - teams set their own specific time target matching their needs and confidence.

Possible Solution

backstage.io has this need call-out at the side of their website, to motivate early adopters to share publicly that they are using backstage. See screenshot.

Could we do something similar on https://innersourcecommons.org?
