#chaoss-community: Hangout 2017-11-14

Meeting summary

1. 1. IDEA: Maybe we can have the same time for weekly hangout and the monthly call (GeorgLink, 19:56:29)
   2. http://stackalytics.com/ (LawrenceHecht, 20:05:41)
   3. http://stackalytics.com/ (GeorgLink, 20:05:57)
   4. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/open-source-leadership-summit (GeorgLink, 20:20:45)
   5. Organizational Diversity can be interpreted in different usecases for different decisions: (1) A giant company that sees its competitors invest in an open source project may decide to monitor the technology; (2) When looking at non-vendor companies, corporate involvement may signal adoption; (3) A blogger may call out that a lack of diversity speaks against the open source spirit. (GeorgLink, 20:23:40)
   6. IDEA: Lawrence proposes that the components of every activity metric should be defined (similar to the asterisks in the Diversity and Participation file) (GeorgLink, 20:26:06)
   7. IDEA: this definitional part might be part of the tooling discussion (GeorgLink, 20:26:33)
   8. https://libraries.io/ (LawrenceHecht, 20:32:11)
   9. Lawrence pointed out the difference between "metric" and "variable" - a metric is a time series of a variable (GeorgLink, 20:36:17)
   10. Maybe we can ask Daniel Izquierdo about how to document "components" of activity metrics - that is the implementation specifications - but without being technology dependent (GeorgLink, 20:37:12)
   11. metrics for dependencies: 1) how many other repos does its components rely on? 2) what is the risk associated with the third-party component? 3) ?? (LawrenceHecht, 20:37:25)
   12. https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/chaoss/metrics?rev=1506455252 old wiki page version (GeorgLink, 20:41:03)
   13. for releasing metrics, maybe we can use a structure like: metric-category-activitymetric-rationale&usecases with each level being a sub-section of the previous. (GeorgLink, 20:56:59)
