CHAOSScon Schedule Released  🎉

We are very happy to be releasing the CHAOSScon schedule for our conference on September 30, 2021 in Seattle. Please join us either in person or via the Youtube Livestream!

Some highlights from our schedule include:

  • Keynote presentation from Emma Irwin, Microsoft
  • 6 talks from industry, academia, researchers, and the CHAOSS community
  • On-site signup for Lightning Talk sessions

We also plan on doing an informal CHAOSS meetup while we are in Seattle, but that is still a work in progress. We hope you will join us in our CHAOSScon Slack Channel to communicate with everyone who will be at the conference or participating virtually!

Your Last Week to Review Metrics

This is the last week of our 30-day public review process for the metrics candidates, so you have a few more days to take a look! PLEASE feel free to add your input, +1’s, or any other comments to any or all of these 16 metrics:

Thank you so much for your help in making our metrics the best they can be.

CHAOSS in the News

Our friends at the Rochester Institute of Technology have been using GrimoireLab (a CHAOSS software project from Bitergia) to create a portal that will help their OSPO easily display metrics for all their open source software.

Their project is called Mystic, and it’s designed to support the growing number of open source projects run by RIT staff, faculty, and students pursuing a minor in Free and Open Source Software and Free Culture. This field of study is new to academia, and so the RIT OSPO was really starting from square one.

You can read more about their journey with CHAOSS/GrimoireLab and Mystic at Opensource.com: Building an open source community health analytics platform, or hear more about Mystic at CHAOSScon.

Reminder: Come Join us in Slack!
