CHAOSScast Episode #34: Anniversary Episode with Georg, Dawn, Matt, Sophia, & Elizabeth

This week we celebrated the anniversary of CHAOSScast, as it started a year ago! 🥳  Where did the time go? Join Georg Link, Dawn Foster, Matt Germonprez, Sophia Vargas and me (Elizabeth Barron) as we chat about the evolution of the podcast, of CHAOSS, and what might be in store for the future. We also talk about our favorite episodes and stories from the open source community. This was a lot of fun to record! Listen here: https://podcast.chaoss.community/34.

Tracking Non-Code Contributions Blog Post

Over the weekend, Georg Link published a super interesting blog post about his conversation with Marco Villegas. Marco has developed the Open Source Contribution Log tool that helps capture and quantify non-code contributions, and his work was based on CHAOSS metrics! If this is something you’d like to read more about, you can see the blog post here: https://chaoss.community/blog-post/2021/05/08/tracking-contributions-to-open-source/.
