  2. “Containerizing” non-software initiatives
    Creating a container format at the Free Software Foundation into which
    we can put anything considered an “initiative,” and then deploying that
    format, will enable us to increase our financial resources, improve our
    effectiveness, communicate better about our work, and make decisions
    more quickly with less stress.

  3. Free software project metrics for non-software initiatives
    Initiative containers should provide a common set of attributes and
    interfaces to initiatives, similar to an API, enabling us to:
    make comparisons between things that are otherwise hard to compare
    – minimize snowflakes
    make sure that the design of initiatives allows us to measure their
    results
    improve our understanding of our own capacity
    have a common vocabulary to assign and track tasks
    clarify the purpose of each thing each staff member does, which
    makes people happy
    provide almost camera-ready material for grant applications, annual
    reports, and other public-facing materials

  9. Emphasis in nonprofit sector on outcomes
    In August of 2015, after collecting a large amount of data,
    Charity Navigator stopped disseminating Results Reporting
    surveys to charities. Instead it focused its efforts on analyzing
    the data collected thus far, evaluating the process of collecting
    data and reviewing feedback from various stakeholders. During
    this phase, the organization will develop plans to enhance it
    systems to scale up to rate Results Reporting for more than
    8,000 charities. The organization may also modify the metrics
    initially launched to better represent the state of Results
    Reporting in the nonprofit sector.

  10. The Free Software Foundation mission
    At the FSF and in the GNU Project, we want all computer users to be
    able to do everything they need to do on any computer, using only free
    software.

  11. How do we measure our progress toward this goal?
    Me at OSCON 2015: We don’t know if we’re getting closer to our
    destination, because we don’t have metrics to evaluate the actual success
    of our efforts.
    (I asked not to be fired for this and promised to remedy the situation.)

  21. For our thirtieth anniversary, thirty things we do at the FSF
    From the Fall 2015 issue at fsf.org/bulletin:
    During his address at the anniversary event in Boston, RMS said,
    “If you want to finish something taking decades, nothing’s more
    important than remembering where you’re trying to get to.” I’d
    also add, you’d better know where you are.
    We’re taking the occasion of this significant anniversary to start
    a year-long intensive process of reviewing where we are – taking
    stock of our current initiatives, making sure we have appropriate
    metrics and desired outcomes associated with each one, and
    assessing how we use our resources in light of that information.
    With a clearer sense of where we are, we can improve our
    efficiency, and do a better job at prioritizing what’s most
    important.
