Managing community backlog with the help of metrics
One of the ways you can measure responsiveness to community contribution is by looking at the size of the backlog periodically. If the backlog of community contribution keeps growing without contributions being closed/merged in a timely manner, this will lead to dissatisfaction among community members. In this talk, Ray will discuss why “Community contribution” Merge Request (MR) backlog has become important at GitLab and how he worked with Alberto at Bitergia to develop visualizations for MR backlogs across GitLab projects. Alberto will discuss why current GrimoireLab dashboards needed to evolve to support GitLab’s use case (beyond GrimoireLab’s existing backlog focused dashboards), technical challenges and limitations when developing the visualization (e.g. calculating the number of contributions that were in opened state on the fly within a given time range that can be selected by the user), and plans for upstreaming this work to CHAOSS.

About CHAOSScon
Learn about open source project health metrics and tools used by open source projects, communities, and engineering teams to track and analyze their community work. This conference will provide a venue for discussing open source project health, CHAOSS updates, use cases, and hands-on workshops for developers, community managers, project managers, and anyone interested in measuring open source project health. We will also share insights from the CHAOSS working groups on Diversity and Inclusion, Evolution, Risk, Value, and Common Metrics.

Navigating Community Health Through Comparison
In this presentation, we share stories from 30 plus interviews on community health and offer our insights from engagement with the CHAOSS project. In particular, we focus on how people use comparisons in the determination of project health. To make solutions actionable, placing open source project metrics into the specific contexts where they are consumed is critical. When open source project contributors compare one open source project to another, they get a sense of how they are doing, relatively speaking. The comparison is social insofar as people draw comparisons between projects that are similar in terms of personnel or other key characteristics; projects they are socially familiar with. Through comparison, open source project contributors identify metrics that draw essential contrasts, and through these contrasts evaluate the likelihood of continued success or failure for their projects of interest.

Notes:
Who is going to Portland
- OSCON?
- Community Leadership Summit?
D&I workgroup is working on resources pages (metric detail pages)
- How to engage developers who want to implement metrics? --- Maybe we want to create issues for metrics that need implementation and flag them for developers to find.
- Regular next next call would fall on the 4th of July -- workgroup will send out an email about moving or cancelling
GMD workgroup has very meta-level discussion on the mailing list about metrics and language
- the conversation will affect the entire community because it is crucial to create clarity of what we talk about.
- conversation is highly technical -- desire to use more plain english and ensure that it is useful to community managers
- Expecting a very intersting next call: This week Thursday 11am CDT -- everyone invited!
Move Monthly call out of the 4th of July by one week to July 10th. We will have a weekly hangout on July 3rd instead.
CHAOSScon preparation update:
- Working on wifi for everyone
- The coordinating committee is working on a budget to be able to approach sponsors

We talked about:
* CHAOSScon [2]
- $20 no-show fee on the registration form
- Schedule is online; will be updated later today: https://chaoss.community/chaosscon-2018-na/
- Still open to sponsors (CHAOSScon organizing committe will put together a budget)
* How to start participating in CHAOSS?
- best start by looking at working group
- Growth-Maturity-Decline work group [3] is looking for help with defining metrics, with implementing metrics in Python Notebooks, with validating metrics with community managers, and with generating reports from metrics.
- Diversity and Inclusion work group [4] is looking for help with validating the metrics proposed in pull requests, in the future the work group looks for help with identifying ways to measure the metrics.
* Mailing list migration to group.io
- change only affects administrators
- subscriptions and settings are migrated
- archives are migrated
--- Is this a good time to switch the name of the mailing list to chaoss-discuss? We talked about this some time ago and want to switch.
* The Governing Board plans a meeting at OSSNA.
Best,
Georg
