• We are reaching out to other foundations.
• Does it make sense to include more traditional industry?
  • yes, Intel e.g. has diversity initiatives
  • Based on our conversations, industry people are interested in metrics, especially in the technical community
• Does it make sense to approach and invite individual people?
  • We want to coordinate who contacts whom, to not overload people
  • Kate and Matt will coordinate the outreach

• For the most part, the governance document is finished
• We would like other foundations to give input, to make the initiative a true industry-wide effort
  • Kate is contacting other foundations
• We don't know yet if the tool side (CHAOSS Tool Committee) has signed off on the governance document
  • No major items appear to be outstanding

• Linux Con / OSS Summit: Proposal is put in to have a workshop for the value-driven metric “Project Growth - Maturity - Decline”
• What is the way forward?
  • Missouri is actively working on implementing it
    • Is there a way for sharing even a rough draft with the group?
    • A mockup will be sent to the mailing list for discussion, in advance to OSS Summit
    • Assumption is that people will not trust the metrics:
    • The challenge is to make metrics trustable,
    • E.g. find similar project to focal project and compare the, for example, starting phase…
    • Radar graph is one approach, another is using a baseline
• Wiki looks much better.
  • How do you minimize the many individual metrics on the maturity value-driven metric
  • Maybe do this during the OSS Summit
• How do we carve a path, so that people can start believing or disbelieving metrics?
  • “Integrate early and often” perspective drove above question
    • We are very interested in figuring out, what the metrics could be,
    • The code Committee and Missouri are two tooling groups that instantiate the metrics
    • The people can then use the instantiations as a way to understand the metrics
  • OPNFV has been working with Bitergia for 2+ years. There is plenty of data to start piloting with the OPNFV community.

• Are there are other events that we want to target? Non-LF events?
  • OSCON in Austin … there is a community manager track (was in May 2017)
    • Bitergia is involved there, and there is a metrics track
    • Maybe take part in the pre-conference event by Bitergia where they do a full day of metrics: GrimoireCon North America
  • FOSDEM in Brussels (February)
    • CFP is in November for February, speakers are notified around Christmas
    • Bitergia is hosting the GrimoireCon Europe prior to FOSDEM
  • Mining Software Repositories (ACM Conference/Workshop)
    • Was in Argentina last year, maybe next year.
    • Is more academic oriented

• Next meeting will be July 11 (4th of July is a U.S. national holiday)
