[CFP]: OSPOlogy Panel Session: CHAOSS

[germonprez]

Session Title

Ways to define a metrics strategy in your OSPO

Session Description

Organizations with an OSPO understand the value of investing in open source development and set goals related to open source use and participation. But every open source program defines success a little differently. The goals they set, and metrics they track, will vary according to the reasons the organization is investing in open source – whether it’s to recruit developers, bring in new ideas and technologies through open innovation, achieve faster time to market, lower development costs, or myriad other reasons.

In this panel discussion, a group of OSPO leaders will gather to discuss how they have participated in metrics strategy discussions with the help of CHAOSS tools, and open source metrics standards.

Benefits to the Ecosystem

As stated from CHAOSS: The importance of open source software is no longer in question and its importance raises important questions about how we understand the health of the open source projects we rely on. Unhealthy projects can have negative impacts on the community involved in the project as well as organizations that rely on such projects. In response, people and organizations want to know more about the open source projects they are engaged with.

The panel will explore how a better understanding of open source community health can have positive impacts for OSPO-related operations.

Help us narrow down the focus a bit more. Please choose the OSPO related topic that best describes your proposal.
