    3. David McBride (dmcbride, 14:05:42)
    4. from TSC minutes June 28th: "Project structure, scope and coordination discussion: There are a number of projects that have not been active or staffed by a single company and has not been able to attract new contributors. There was a good discussion on different metrics to determine the health/status of projects. Brian Skerry and Tapio agreed to meet after their vacations to continue evaluating this topic. " (bjskerry, 14:06:05)
    5. Some projects are still alive, even though they appeared dormant for a while. (bjskerry, 14:07:44)
    6. Examples of projects that had no activity for a while but had presentations at the last summit (bjskerry, 14:09:00)
    7. There are really two types of dormant projects; those that have indicated they plan to participate in a given release and those that don't (bjskerry, 14:10:58)
    8. If there is nothing happening for multiple release cycles that indicates a problem (bjskerry, 14:12:44)
    9. in addition if there is nothing happening in the OPNFV tools (e.g. Jira, git/gerritt, etc.) (rpaik, 14:13:35)
    10. For some projects there are activities, but nothing is being recorded. Having a well-defined process might give projects the incentive to keep status up to date. (bjskerry, 14:16:21)
    11. Need a way for projects to withdraw intent to participate in a release (bjskerry, 14:16:41)
    12. another criteria is when the project team members are not responsive (rpaik, 14:17:23)
    13. Meeting minutes are another criteria (bjskerry, 14:18:59)
    14. https://www.gotomeeting.com/join/991112053 (rpaik, 14:19:39)
    15. Can we use Bitergia as an first level indicator of a potential problem? (bjskerry, 14:25:24)
    16. discussion on quarterly report out to the TSC on dormant projects (rpaik, 14:29:31)
    17. I wonder what are the basic metrics we might want to try out. (ChrisPriceAB, 14:29:37)
    18. suggested metrics: no activities on the repo's, Jira (per Bitergia), no updates on the wiki, and project team members not responsive (rpaik, 14:30:59)
    19. activity in the repository: Can this be measured in a metric indicative of both contributions to the repo and the level of activity of the projects committers? (ChrisPriceAB, 14:32:18)
    20. For Colorado: of all the projects that planned to participate, 6 to 8 didn't make it. (bjskerry, 14:33:03)
    21. an example of activity metric could be 1-10 for repo activities; 1-10 for closed Jira tickets; etc. (rpaik, 14:42:29)
    22. There are really two issues: 1. Objective criteria for health of each project; 2. For little to no activity for a project what should we do about it (bjskerry, 14:47:28)
    23. https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/SWREL/Releases+Colorado+Projects (bjskerry, 14:48:55)
    24. discussion on doing a quarterly report of project health (rpaik, 14:53:16)
    25. Need to have a discussion in the TSC for projects that are not ready for colorado (bjskerry, 14:56:44)
