 * [Gig Marketplace](patterns/2-structured/gig-marketplace.md) - *Establish a marketplace by creating an intranet website that lists specific InnerSource project needs as "Gigs" with explicit time and skill requirements.

+* [Maturity Model](patterns/2-structured/maturity-model.md) - *InnerSource practices are spreading to multiple teams and departments within an organization, however the understanding of what constitutes an InnerSource project varies. Defining a maturity model enables teams to do a self-assessment and discover new InnerSource patterns and practices, while also leading to a shared understanding of what InnerSource is.
 * [InnerSource License](patterns/2-structured/innersource-license.md) - *Two legal entities that belong to the same organization want to share software source code with each other but they are concerned about the implications in terms of legal liabilities or cross-company accounting. An InnerSource License provides a reusable legal framework for the sharing of source code within the organization. This opens up new collaboration options, and makes the rights and obligations of the involved legal entities explicit.*
 * [InnerSource Portal](patterns/2-structured/innersource-portal.md) - *Potential contributors cannot easily discover InnerSource projects that they are interested in. By creating an intranet website that indexes all available InnerSource project information you enable contributors to learn about projects that might interest them and InnerSource project owners to attract an outside audience.*
 * [Praise Participants](patterns/2-structured/praise-participants.md) - *Thank contributors effectively to engender further engagement from them and to encourage others to contribute*
