Announcing All In: Open Sourcing Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion 

CHAOSS is very proud to be partnering with GitHub, The Linux Foundation, Red Hat, several Universities, and many others, as a founding partner in the All In project. All In is an open source community that is dedicated to advancing DEI in an “open source” way: collaboratively, transparently, and iteratively. By bringing together corporations, universities, and organizations like CHAOSS, we aim to create more inclusive and welcoming open source projects. This is an exciting partnership for CHAOSS, and you can read more about it through the website, or their GitHub repo.

Metrics Freeze and Upcoming 2021-10 Release

The Metrics Release Team is working hard to finalize this latest round of metrics and Working Group changes. This release is one of our most productive iterations, and also will be our first fully automated release (via MARS!). We are on schedule to release the English version of our metrics next week, and the Chinese version the week after. If you have any questions about the release, you can reach out to the Metrics Release Team on our Slack channel, or send a note to our Mailing List.

Congratulations to Veerasamy Sevagen! 

We wanted to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Sevagen for being our first student to participate in and successfully complete a project through the Summer 2021 OSPP! Sevagen worked on documentation for the GrimoireLab tutorial, and you can read his final report and blog post here. Fantastic job, Sevagen!
