Decision makers often face challenges to understand open source projects, especially as data is scattered across different collaboration platforms. Two tools - GrimoireLab and CROSSMINER - were developed to overcome this challenge but were started with different goals in mind. On the one hand, GrimoireLab focused on understanding software development process within open source projects. On the other hand, CROSSMINER focused on helping software developers select the right open source projects. The meaning of project health is different in both cases. This talk is about this philosophical difference in approaching open source project health metrics, how it shaped the tools, what this means for metrics that were implemented, and what lessons can be learned about measuring open source project health.
