CHAOSScon Registration, CfP and Sponsorship are OPEN!

The CHAOSScon CfP will be open until August 13, so you have just a few more weeks to submit a talk! Read on for ideas around suggested topics:

Software related metrics topics:

  • tutorials
  • walk throughs
  • demos
  • how-to’s
  • new features

Metrics related topics:

  • metrics strategy
  • deep dive into the use of metrics
  • failure of metrics in practice
  • lessons learned, use cases, and case studies
  • proposals for new metrics
  • new visualizations

Do you have something to share in one of these areas? We highly encourage you to send in an abstract.

You can also now register for Open Source Summit, and the CHAOSScon add-on. CHAOSScon is happening in-person (and virtually) September 30 in Seattle, immediately following the OSS conference.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available! We’d be incredibly grateful for your company’s support, and your sponsorship will help us improve our DEI efforts for the conference.

Week 7 Updates from our GSoC Students 

There are only a few weeks left of this GSoC session! We are very proud of the progress our students have made thus far. They are working on some very interesting things, and you can read about their progress here:

Keep up the amazing work, everyone!

Website Migration Complete

The CHAOSS website has now been moved to a new server, which will give us a little more flexibility and control with regard to admin duties and functionality of the site. You should not see a difference between the old site and the new, but if you come across anything that looks broken or isn’t working the way it should, please file an issue in the website repository. Big thank you’s go out to those who have helped us test everything, and to Kevin Lumbard and Sean Goggins who made the migration happen. We appreciate you!!

Reminder: Zoom Office Hours Now Open Every Monday 

Last week, we started hosting open office hours on Mondays for newcomers to the CHAOSS project. For those who aren’t familiar with this term, it’s a time when one of the CHAOSS community will be openly available on Zoom to answer any questions you have. No registration needed; you can just hop on the CHAOSS Community Zoom call any time during the 2-hour window, and leave when your question has been answered.

Come say hello and we’ll help you find what you need!

And here’s a reminder that if you’re already a member of the CHAOSS community and would like to help out with this initiative, you can sign up for a 2-hour slot here.

Reminder: Come Join us in Slack!

CHAOSS has revived our Slack channel as a form of connecting with our community and holding space for newcomers to ask questions. If you like Slack, join us here! https://join.slack.com/t/chaoss-workspace/shared_invite/zt-r65szij9-QajX59hkZUct82b0uACA6g.

Successful Grace Hopper Open Source Day!

We had the opportunity to take part in Grace Hopper Conference’s first virtual Open Source Day through the Augur project, and it was a rousing success! We were able to include more first-time contributors than we ever have in the past. A big thank you goes out to Srishti Guleria for assisting as a mentor, and Sean Goggins for guiding the way. We hope to continue our participation in future GHC Open Source Day events!

CHAOSScast Episode #39: Leaderboards and Metrics at Drupal.org with Matthew Tift and Tim Lehnen

This week we were delighted to host Matthew Tift and Tim Lehnen from the Drupal project on CHAOSScast. Host Georg Link and panelist Nicole Huesman joined Matthew and Tim to discuss all the amazing work Drupal has done to improve community health, inclusivity and engagement, and the potential pitfalls of using leaderboards as measures to track contributions. They also talked about how to measure non-code contributions and tracking and measuring corporate sponsorship and influence. This was a great episode that you can listen to here: https://podcast.chaoss.community/39.

New Chinese Slack Channel: #中国社区

To make it easier for our Chinese CHAOSS Community to participate in metrics discussions and the global community of CHAOSS, we have created a Chinese-friendly Slack channel. For anyone who would like to join this channel, you can find it here. We have a core team of bi-lingual community members who will help monitor the channel and bring the discussions to the larger community. We know Slack is only accessible to a portion of our Chinese community, but it’s a first start. We hope this helps lower the barrier for participation, even just a little.

CHAOSScast Episode #37: Patrick Woods from Orbit

Venia Logan and Georg Link had the pleasure of hosting Patrick Woods from Orbit on CHAOSScast this week, as they talk about various community management models and frameworks, and the unique perspective Orbit brings. Of course, they also talk about community health metrics, as Orbit helps community managers gather data about the activity and health of their communities. This was such a great listen!

CHAOSScast Episode 36: DEI Badging with Rachel Braun and Celia Stamps 

We were absolutely thrilled to host the amazing Rachel Braun and Celia Stamps from the Linux Foundation Events team in this latest CHAOSScast episode! Georg Link, Ruth Ikegah, Matt Germonprez, and Matt Cantu joined them to chat about the CHAOSS DEI Badging Initiative and their experience with going through the process multiple times. They discussed why it’s important to bring DEI metrics like these into practice, and how partnering with event organizers on an initiative like this helps everybody. We are super grateful for Rachel and Celia’s time, and you can listen to this episode here: https://podcast.chaoss.community/36.

Continuous Metrics Release: New Metrics Under Review

All the Working Groups have been hard at work, continuing to develop new metrics for use in measuring community health. In between our regular releases (which happen in March and September/October), we have what is called a “Continuous Metrics Release” so metrics developed during this time don’t have to wait months to be seen.

Currently open for review are these metrics, with more on the way!

Feel free to read through these metrics and make any comments or offer feedback. (These metrics will still be released under the community review period during the next release.)

Open Zoom Office Hours Starting on June 7

Beginning June 7, we will be hosting open “office hours” sessions for newcomers who are joining the project. For those who aren’t familiar with this term, it’s a time when one of the CHAOSS community will be openly available on Zoom to answer any questions you have. No appointment needed; you can just hop on the CHAOSS Community Zoom call any time during the 2-hour window, and leave when your question has been answered.

  • When: Every Monday morning, beginning June 7
  • Time: 9:00 am – 11:00 am US Central (Chicago) Time
  • Where: https://zoom.us/my/chaoss

Come say hello and we’ll help you find what you need!

And if you’re already a member of the CHAOSS community and would like to help out with this initiative, you can sign up for a 2-hour slot here.

Welcome Google Summer of Code Students!

We are very excited to be working with 6 students for the 2021 Google Summer of Code session. We hoped to be able to include more student projects, and although we received numerous awesome proposals, we are thrilled to have these students joining us! ✨

Our students this summer are:

  • Yeming Gu 
  • Rashmi KA
  • Yash Prakash
  • Anuj Lamoria
  • Dhruv Sachdev
  • Ritik Malik

You can see the list of projects they’re working on here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5479195758559232/. Although some of our GSoC students have been attending our community calls and submitting PRs already, if you see Yeming, Rashmi, Yash, Anuj, Dhruv, or Ritik, please welcome them to the community!

CHAOSSCon Planning Has Begun, and We Need Your Input!

The CHAOSSCon planning committee has started developing ideas for this year’s CHAOSSCon. We would love your input! Please give us your thoughts here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdBfNcooWnmdq4x4k8E__cObvvzYLtLMY8T2EO3vB-VElb1ZQ/viewform

We are in the early stages of planning but will be using time at the end of each week’s Community Call to move ideas forward. Keep an eye out for updates and we can’t wait to see you in person!

Zoom Office Hours Starting Monday, June 7

Sean Goggins, Matt Germonprez, and me (Elizabeth Barron) will be hosting a weekly open Zoom call from 9:00-11:00 US Central (Chicago) time on Monday mornings.  We will start the calls on June 7, so if you’re new to the project or just want to pop in to ask questions, we’ll be there! We’re happy to chat with you. You can join anytime here, and of course, you don’t need to stick around for the full 2-hour window: https://zoom.us/my/chaoss.
