The Scientific Open Source Software (SciOSS) Working Group meets every other Thursday at 3pm UTC via Zoom.
Monitoring and analyzing contributions to large scientific open source projects currently presents a challenge due to the lack of specialized tools available and established metrics standards.
Define useful metrics
Identify best tools
Develop best practices and metrics standards for scientific open source projects
SciOSS group aims to develop research-informed and peer-validated community health metrics and standards that will help scientific open source project leaders and funders better support contributors and make the impact of community focused work more visible. It will also help drive the adoption of these metrics and implementation of best practices.
Check out released CHAOSS metrics and metrics models at https://chaoss.community/metrics/.
This project is open to anyone interested in the topic of metrics in the context of scientific open source software. Please check our Guide for new contributors.
