Reminder: No Asia-Pacific Community Meeting This Week
Because our Chinese colleagues will be on holiday, we decided in the last Asia-Pacific Community call to cancel this week’s meeting (May 5). The regular bi-weekly schedule will resume on May 19. See you then!
New Slack Channel for Newcomers to Ask Questions!
CHAOSS has had an admittedly quiet Slack channel for a while, and during last week’s meetings we decided to create a safe space for newcomers to the project to ask questions and connect with us. We have more ideas for welcoming newcomers, but in the meantime, you can join the CHAOSS Slack channel here: https://join.slack.com/t/chaoss-workspace/shared_invite/zt-ptka3wu9-ey~fd3lh7gj2659WVVzFMQ. Join our #office-hours channel if you have questions, or just pop in our #general channel to say hello!

Current Open Call for Proposals
There are a few conferences that have open Calls for Proposals right now, and we encourage our community members to get out there and talk about CHAOSS! If you are interested in presenting at any of these and need some help with your proposal, let me know and I can connect you with some “veteran” speakers who are happy to give you feedback on your abstract. Also, feel free to join our Working Groups, which are discussing potential topics and panel discussions.
- All Things Open: https://2021.allthingsopen.org/call-for-papers/ (Closes April 30!)
- OSSEU: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-europe/program/cfp/ (Closes June 13)
- OSPOCON (attached to OSSEU) https://events.linuxfoundation.org/ospocon/program/cfp/ (also closes June 13)
Migrating to Groups.io
In the next few weeks, we are migrating to Groups.io to manage our mailing lists. If you are already a subscriber to our mailing list, NO ACTION IS NEEDED on your part, unless you’d like to unsubscribe from the mailing list. To unsubscribe, you can do so by using the unsubscribe form at the bottom of the mailing list page. You are welcome to unsubscribe from the list at any time, of course, even after the migration happens. You can also email us at mail@chaoss.community to request we remove you from the list. Otherwise you probably won’t see any change in your inbox after the migration happens.
Standardization Project Still Underway
We wanted to thank those who have been working to standardize the CHAOSS repositories and naming across working groups, as this is a very daunting task! But at the end of it all, ensuring consistency across the project means we are better set up for future automation and newcomer contributions. Thank you to Ritik Malik, Yash Prakash, Georg Link, and Faisal Riyaz. Your hard work is greatly appreciated!

Reminder: App Ecosystem Working Group Meets Today
Because of the awkward timing of when the newsletter usually goes out, the App Ecosystem Working Group never makes it onto our list of Upcoming Meetings. 😭 This is a super interesting group that works on developing metrics pertinent to the larger open source ecosystem. Regular participants of this group come from a variety of communities and the conversation is always lively. For recent examples of their work, check out this blog post on opensource.com (How We Develop Success Metrics for Open Source Events) and the recent CHAOSScast episode (Marketing Metrics for OSS Foundations).
This group meets every other Monday at noon US Central (Chicago) time on our Community Zoom (https://zoom.us/my/chaoss), with the next meeting happening TODAY! Please feel free to join!
(And apologies to the regulars in this group – we ❤️ you!)
