Community Comment Period for Metrics Starts March 1

It’s that time of year again, folks! Today is the last day for working groups to add any new metrics they’ve developed to the 2022-04 release. From March 1-31 there is an open comment period on all the metrics candidates. Anyone inside or outside of the CHAOSS community can make comments, suggestions, or provide any other ideas around our new metrics. The candidates for release this time around are:

  • Project Demographics (DEI Working Group)
  • Event Accessibility (DEI Working Group)
  • Defect Resolution Time (Risk Working Group)
  • CII Best Practices (Change of Name) (Risk Working Group)
  • Contributor Recommendability (Value Working Group)
  • Change Request Reviews (Evolution Working Group)
  • Change Request Commits (Evolution Working Group)
  • Occasional Contributors (Common Working Group)

Thanks to everyone who worked on these!

CHAOSScast Episode 53: Gathering Open Source Usage Data with Avi Press

This week, our wonderful guest Avi Press joined Georg Link, Kate Stewart, and Sophia Vargas to talk about Scarf and collecting open source data. They also discussed defining the term “user,” the insights that can be gleaned from analyzing the data collected, and the ins and outs of Scarf the project. This was a great episode!
