Github project participation activity analysis and contributor profile building
Discover who is contributing to the projects of interest and describe contribution activity at the contributor level. How are different organizations represented among the contributor base? Additionally, we would like to identify if contributors are university students or individuals not already associated with a major organization.
The Github API code comes from the BonnyCI project: https://github.com/BonnyCI/shuffleboard
Project status: https://github.com/BonnyCI/mateys-ahoy/projects/1
Initial exploratory analysis has been done resources from the BonnyCI/ci-plunder project. The analysis will start by determining metrics for measuring contributor participation and then move towards building more complete profiles for these contributors beyond their Github profiles. The final deliverable will be a hosted web application that provides visual data plots of interest based on regular updates of the contributor data archive.
Discover data beyond Github profiles for project contributors. This may involve additional searches using social network profile tools or search engines. Explore the combinations of parameters sufficient for a high probability match. Human review will likely be needed on any results here as we work to improve this.
Store data gathered in Milestone 2 (and keep history intact).
Focus on building and deploying the final deliverable.
Iterations on the Milestones listed above to improve our matching and participation analysis using AI.
