Learning about CHAOSS community

This talk aims at introducing the CHAOSS -Community Health Analytics for Open Source Projects- to the InnerSource practitioners. Metrics and KPIs are of importance for the InnerSource Commons as seen in the several talks and discussions during the last summits.

CHAOSS was born in 2017 under the Linux Foundation umbrella and this is a hub of OSS projects and organizations participating in the definition of metrics of interest for Open Source projects.

As active member of CHAOSS, there are some lessons learnt when dealing with those metrics and KPIs, either at the theoretical definition and from a software implementation that might be worth exploring across the InnerSource ecosystem.

This talk will bring this discussion and how to potentially build bridges between both.

5. CONTEXT CHAOSS Community Linux foundation project focused on creating analytics and metrics to help define community health. GrimoireLab CHAOSS Software founding projects focused on Data gathering, Data enrichment and Data visualization. 100% open source!
6. • Establish a standard implementation of metrics • Produce integrated open source software for analyzing software community development • Build reproducible project health reports/containers OBJECTIVES

21. CHAOSS & InnerSource Commons
22. Assumed behaviours in OSS that do not happen in InnerSource What about exploring those at the ISC from a CHAOSS perspective?
23. What do you mean by collaboration? commit? active contributor? communication?
24. - Metrics is a hot topic at ISC - No existing discussion beyond initial steps - Metric granularity is too low - What about Use Cases? - Benchmarking?
25. Present ISC at CHAOSSCon in Brussels Start framing the metrics discussion - Pattern? A new WG? Build some bridges and check what we can learn from each other NEXT STEPS
26. “To measure is to know” “If you can not measure it, you cannot improve it” Lord Kelvin
27. Let’s go for questions!
