It’s been an amazing FOSDEM, as always. We had the opportunity to chat (sometime very briefly) with friends and people we see time to time. FOSDEM always feels like home 🙂
It’s been stressful as well. So, let’s start day by day…
FLOSS Community Metrics meeting (#FCM2)
On Friday, we celebrated the FLOSS Community Metrics Workshop and Conference. It was the first time we organized the morning workshop. We have the opportunity to present our new Open Development Analytics dashboard (in this case using data from OpenStack) and several use cases for development analytics: code review process analysis for Xen and OpenStack, hackathons ROI and gender diversity analysis.
Community metrics are important for evaluating FLOSS, and we’re listening to what @Bitergia shares at #FCM2 https://t.co/0kh27rFU6N

OK, I was excited to roll out @Bitergia metrics for @OpenMRS before, but the new platform’s even more exciting. https://t.co/3s5zXHmGbZ

The afternoon discussions about Inner Sourcing, gender and diversity, quality versus quantity, among others, focused the debate and showed the increasing of interest about tools that help to measure what happens in our projects and communities in an open, free and transparent way.
It was a success, thank you all for coming and for the feedback provided. We will improve the next edition that will take place on May co-located with OSCON where we are going to have a booth on the Expo and session on the program about code review process.

Most of the slides are available at flosscommunitymetrics.org. We recorded some of the workshop, conference and lightning talks. We are working now on the edition, so as soon as we can they will be published.
Thankful for the people at #fcm2 – being interested in the topic will moved it forward. Wished I wasn’t sick .. pic.twitter.com/KI6AVyhtI5

FOSDEM
We planted our base on the cafeteria 🙂 where we had really interesting talks about metrics, communities, and open development analytics.

We spent the rest of the weekend attending talks. The talk from Jesus on the Legal and Policy Issues devroom on Saturday about “Who controls your project? Governance in the real world” was really crowded…
