#chaoss-community: Monthly Metrics Call

Meeting started by GeorgLink at 19:00:06 UTC. The full logs are below in Section IRC Log.

Meeting summary

  • Progress update from Code of Conduct working group. (GeorgLink, 19:04:49)
    • CoC Working Group is finishing up. Looking to meet one last time. (GeorgLink, 19:05:32)
  • Update on Growth Maturity Decline metric (GeorgLink, 19:09:16)
    • Over the last month, merged several pull requests. High level categories are Issue Resolution, Code Development, Community Growth. (GeorgLink, 19:10:46)
    • Metrics should all be implementable now. (GeorgLink, 19:11:31)
    • HELP: We would like the metrics to be implemented in GHData or GrimoireLab or other software. This would be good for iterating the metric and getting feedback on them. (GeorgLink, 19:17:36)
    • IDEA: A big part of metrics is the visualization. How involved should the metrics committee be in defining the visualizations? (GeorgLink, 19:18:52)
    • IDEA: Expand metrics tables on GitHub with a new column for visualizations? (GeorgLink, 19:20:23)
  • Update on analysis tool comparisons (GeorgLink, 19:21:01)
    • Jason is comparing metrics definitions across software implementations. (GeorgLink, 19:22:33)
    • LINK: https://github.com/hoxu/gitstats (JasonCL, 19:23:53)
    • What will the report compare in light of the very different scope and capabilities of the software? Maybe it is a list of all available software with a short introduction and some background of capability. Another approach could be to focus on only a few similar tools and compare them in more detail. (GeorgLink, 19:28:16)
    • Another interesting aspect about the software would be how adaptable it is as a tool for different scenarios, contexts, data sources, and data needs. (GeorgLink, 19:30:09)
    • It would be good to compare the metrics coverage of the available tools. In a sort of venn-diagram, the CHAOSS metrics committee might want to make sure that the most common metrics are included in our lists. (GeorgLink, 19:32:37)
    • Daniel has a list of metrics that GrimoireLab can produce across all the different data sources and in what format the metric is presented. It provides a set of 'fields' to play with. (GeorgLink, 19:35:05)
    • ACTION: Daniel will send the list to the mailing list (GeorgLink, 19:35:20)
  • New Diversity and Inclusion Workgroup (GeorgLink, 19:35:27)
    • the new workgroup is a collaboration between software and metric committee with a specific focus on diversity and inclusion (GeorgLink, 19:37:48)
    • The OpenStack gender report is a starting point. The methods for producing the report will be made available for other communities. (GeorgLink, 19:38:41)
    • ACTION: A GitHub repo will be created for this work under the umbrella of the CHAOSS community. (GeorgLink, 19:41:09)
  • Code Committee Updates (GeorgLink, 19:41:29)
    • GHData now is a CHAOSS project (GeorgLink, 19:41:52)
    • Software Committee is working on governance and voting rules (GeorgLink, 19:42:33)
    • GrimoireLab code base is moving to the CHAOSS organization with multiple repositories. (GeorgLink, 19:43:08)
    • IDEA: Is there a way to group repositories in GitHub? Maybe we want to create a readme that directs to the repos. (GeorgLink, 19:47:47)
  • Release schedules (GeorgLink, 19:47:54)
    • AGREED: Do not create branches but use releases in GitHub. (GeorgLink, 19:48:12)
    • IDEA: Create a PDF compilation of the metrics that is attached to the release. (GeorgLink, 19:48:33)
  • Metrics Committee white papers / publications / outreach (GeorgLink, 19:48:43)
    • We are reaching out to people for interviews (GeorgLink, 19:49:29)
  • Conferences (GeorgLink, 19:49:36)
    • Open Source Summit - CFP Closes: 11:59pm PST on Sunday, January 21, 2018 (GeorgLink, 19:50:59)
    • we would like to have a Birds of a Feather at the Open Source Leadership Summit (GeorgLink, 19:51:16)
  • Other? (GeorgLink, 19:51:58)
