In this episode of CHAOSScast, host Dawn Foster brings together Matt Germonprez, Brian Proffitt, and Ashley Wolf to discuss the implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs), including policy considerations, the potential for AI-driven contributions to create workload for maintainers, and the quality of contributions. They also touch on the use of AI internally within companies versus contributing back to the open source community, the importance of distinguishing between human and AI contributions, and the potential benefits and challenges AI introduces to open source project health and community metrics. The conversation strikes a balance between optimism for AI’s benefits and caution for its governance, leaving us to ponder the future of open source in an AI-integrated world.

\n\n[00:03:20] The discussion begins on the role of OSPOs in AI policy making, and Ashley emphasizes the importance of OSPOs in providing guidance on generative AI tools usage and contributions within their organizations.
\n\n[00:05:17] Brian observes a conservative reflex towards AI in OSPOs, noting issues around copyright, trust, and the status of AI as not truly open source.
\n\n[00:07:10] Matt inquires about aligning different policies from various organizations, like GitHub and Red Hat, with those from the Linux Foundation and Apache Software Foundation regarding generative AI. Brian speaks about Red Hat’s approach to first figure out their policies before seeking alignment with others.
\n\n[00:06:45] Ashley appreciates the publicly available AI policies from the Apache and Linux Foundations, noting that GitHub’s policies have been informed by long-term thinking and community feedback.
\n\n[00:10:34] Dawn asks about potential internal conflict for GitHub employees given different AI policies at GitHub and other organizations like CNCF and Apache.
\n\n[00:12:32] Ashley and Brian talk about what they see as the benefits of AI for OSPOs, and how AI can help scale OSPO support and act as a sounding board for new ideas.
\n\n[00:15:32] Matt proposes a scenario where generative AI might increase individual contributions to high-profile projects like Kubernetes for personal gain, potentially burdening maintainers.
\n\n[00:18:45] Dawn mentions Daniel Stenberg of cURL who has seen an influx of low-quality issues from AI models, Ashley points out the problem of “drive-by-contributions” and spam, particularly during events like Hacktoberfest, and emphasizes the role of OSPOs in education about responsible contributions, and Brian discusses potential issues with AI contributions leading to homogenization and the increased risk of widespread security vulnerabilities.
\n\n[00:22:33] Matt raises another scenario questioning if companies might use generative AI internally as an alternative to open source for smaller issues without contributing back to the community. Ashley states 92% of developers are using AI code generation tools and cautions against creating code in a vacuum, and Brian talks about Red Hat’s approach.
\n\n[00:27:18] Dawn discusses the impact of generative AI on companies that are primarily consumers of open source, rarely contributing back, questioning if they might start using AI to make changes instead of contributing. Brian suggests there might be a mixed impact and Ashley optimistically hopes the time saved using AI tools will be redirected to contribute back to open source.
\n\n[00:29:49] Brian discusses the state of open source AI, highlighting the lack of a formal definition and ongoing efforts by the OSI and other groups to establish one, and recommends a fascinating article he read from Knowing Machines. Ashley emphasizes the importance of not misusing the term open source for AI until a formal definition is established.
\n\n[00:32:42] Matt inquires how metrics can aid in adapting to AI trends in open source, like detecting AI-generated contributions. Brian talks about using signals like time zones to differentiate between corporate contributors and hobbyists, and the potential for tagging contributions from AI for clarity.
\n\n[00:35:13] Ashley considers the human aspect of maintainers dealing with an influx of AI-generated contributions and what metrics could indicate a need for additional support, and she mentions the concept of the “Nebraska effect.”

\n\n[00:21:29] Carina makes a clarification about Pants Build being written as an open source project in Python and the core engine written in Rust, and she speaks more about supporting languages and the effect it will have on who exists in your community.
\n\n[00:26:09] As the Pants community grows, Venia wonders what Carina has been doing to decide which aspects of that culture are working for the lurkers and silent majority in order to keep it when stakeholders choose to make decisions, and how does she make the decision between what to keep in the culture and what to let go.
\n\n[00:30:00] Venia wonders if Carina has considered using the welcome channel for purposes of direct measurement, and she goes in depth about how she’s doing quantitative work on it using Savannah CRM.
\n\n[00:34:19] Armstrong wonders if Carina thinks qualitative findings or evidence will challenge or support quantitative numbers she has. She also explains why the number is not important but what matters is the experience.

\n\n[00:05:10] Find out more about the M.A.R.S. (Metrics Automated Release System) Project and what the connection was with the Google Summer of Code.
\n\n[00:08:43] Ritik goes into detail how they solve the problem with M.A.R.S., how it works, and the components involved, which now, it’s as simple as a click of a button! Ritik and Yash also tells us how they had to consider the work of the community and how the working groups within those repositories worked and the structures they had to follow, as well as the connection and technical components with the M.A.R.S. Project.
\n\n[00:15:16] Georg talks about the goals of Google Summer of Code, one of which is to bring in people to open source communities and show them the way this works. He talks about the strengths that Ritik and Yash had and why they were selected as students.
\n\n[00:16:30] Ritik and Yash let us know if anything has changed for them in terms of how they think about open source engagement.
\n\n[00:19:04] What are Ritik and Yash’s future plans?
\n\n[00:20:52] Kevin brings up a point about through the M.A.R.S. Project and how the work helped define the process with translating the metrics into different languages. Matt and Yash share some thoughts on this as well.
\n\n[00:22:27] Georg tells us about the community handbook you can look at if you’re interested in the process, and the CHAOSS Metric Quality Checklist as well. Yash tells us how this checklist came about, the hurdles along the way, and what he’s learned.

\n\n[00:16:28] Georg wonders at what stage does which metric come in and what does it actually tell us about how the software development is going.
\n\n[00:20:12] A few stories are shared by the guests about metrics they found valuable in how they understand project health and how they’re using metrics.
\n\n[00:23:43] Xiaoya talks about a research topic that was in her lab about Open-source governance and why her mentor encouraged her to learn more about metrics in CHAOSS, and she mentions the GitHub Insight Report she posted on the blog posts. She also talks about the first working group she participated with most and where she learned what a community is.

\n\nToday, we are lucky to have two representatives from the Drupal community. Our two guests are Tim Lehnen, CTO of the Drupal Association, and Matthew Tift, Lead Engineer at Lullabot, who has been involved in the Drupal Project since 2010. They are here today to talk about who contributes to open source and how do we understand this in the Drupal Community. We also learn the meaning behind Tim and Matthew’s catchphrases, “Build a better picture of how open source gets built” and “Building a better understanding of corporate citizenship in open source.” Download this episode now to find out much more!

\n\n[00:02:13] Tim and Matthew introduce themselves and tell us what they do and how they got into the Drupal community.
\n\n[00:06:18] Tim and Matthew talk about what the Drupal community is doing to really be this community that it is today.
\n\n[00:13:14] Nicole wonders how Tim and Matthew go about putting a pulse on who’s contributing from a non-code perspective, and if there are ways that they surface these contributors either through reports or other ways. They talk about the mechanics of what they do.
\n\n[00:18:43] Tim talks about one of the key considerations of the initial design is wanting to avoid giving people too much paperwork, and Tim tells us the two catchphrases they came up.
\n\n[00:20:15] Matt talks about an analysis that he did with Dries Buytaert called, “Who sponsors Drupal development?”
\n\n[00:25:16] Tim talks about two points that were brought up by Matt and Nicole earlier about the value of understanding who gets paid to the work and the different roles and historically unnoticed roles in open source.
\n\n[00:28:24] We learn more about what we can do with the data when we capture it really well. Tim talks about the cool data they gathered and what they did with it, and the experiment they are trying out at the Drupal Association.
\n\n[00:38:43] Georg asks Tim how the issue tracker is being used and how has that collaboration shaping up there.
\n\n[00:49:16] Nicole asks if Tim and Matthew if they report out on the diversity of the Drupal community and if they’ve seen upticks or changes.
\n\n[00:52:24] Find out where you can follow Tim and Matthew and their work online. They also share advice for communities that want to adopt a system and resources or any starting points.
\n\n[00:17:25] “It’s organizing these different events, it’s writing a blog, it’s all of these different things that we do to, it’s the so what who cares, it’s the translating the lines of code into, you know at heart I’m a storyteller, so it’s really translating these lines of code into why is that important to our broader world.”
\n\n[00:19:48] “Building a better picture of how open source gets built” and “Building a better understanding of corporate citizenship in open source,” were two of our sort of like catch phrases.”
\n\n[00:31:57] “So if your organization sponsors a lot of people’s time you get to come up right on top of the list, you get more business and leads, you’re rewarded for sponsoring your developers to work on the project, and that encourages you to do it more.”
\n\n[00:38:08] “Nobody in our community wants people to feel bad, so we’re trying to tweak this. We’re trying to work on our algorithms, our marketplace page as a committee that could probably talk about that studying this.”

\n\n[00:02:33] Emil tells us all about himself, what he does, and explains what software composition analysis is.
\n\n[00:05:10] Sophia asks Emil for his perspective on open source health, measuring the quality of open source, and what it means for his customers and his platform. He mentions a great book to read as well.
\n\n[00:08:52] Emil tells us what people struggle with the most in terms of what he needs to help them understand or reeducate them in what is valuable in here, and how he helps them understand why they should care about these things.
\n\n[00:13:32] Emil explains how his journey started in open source and how it has evolved over time.
\n\n[00:15:32] Armstrong brings up future engineering and his concern with bias and perspective of communities, and Emil goes into more detail about it.
\n\n[00:20:41] We learn about a graph model of all open source that Emil is developing.
\n\n[00:22:24] Sophia wonders if Emil is interested in tracking the influence of individuals in these systems and if that’s something that could often muck up very systematic approaches and how he handles it. He talks about a project called Flask RESTX that he recommends.
\n\n[00:27:38] Armstrong brings up the problem with maintenance which draws him to the metrics and how the social aspect of this community is a huge concern, and he wonders how Emil mitigates this aspect since an open source community deals with the socio-technical.
\n\n[00:30:25] Emil walks us through his terminology.
\n\n[00:35:52] Armstrong asks Emil how open he is to collaboration to make sure that we can work to view a very complex set of a model that we are presented. Sophia also shares interest in working with Emil’s model within the CHAOSS project and within some of their research divisions at Google.

","summary":"Hello and welcome to this episode of CHAOSScast. On today’s episode we are taking the conversation from our app ecosystem working group and sharing it with you. We invited some expert guests in because we have a topic that we decided we wanted some outside input. The app ecosystem working group was started last year with the goal of developing metrics for app ecosystems, like KDE and GNOME, and providing for several different personas in these large community’s metrics. We have two panelists joining us from the working group, Neo Kolokotronis, a KDE contributor, and Sri Ramkrishna, a member of the GNOME Project. Also, we have our four guests, Aniqa Khokhar, Caroline Henriksen, Kristi Progri, and Paul Brown, who are here today to talk about marketing and communication, what that means in these projects, and how we can support the people in these communities doing marketing and communications with metrics. And you don’t want to miss hearing about the Community Engagement Challenge that’s happening right now! Download this episode to find out much more!

","summary":"Welcome to this episode of CHAOSScast! Today, our episode is a shared podcast between CHOASScast and Sustain. Along with Georg, Venia, and Brian, we have Richard Littauer and Pia Mancini from Sustain. We had the idea to do this special episode because there’s a lot of work happening on sustaining software and understanding the health of our community, and CHAOSS focuses on what open source development is, how it works, what communities are, and how you can find metrics to figure out how something is. So, we will learn about the metrics, the Diversity & Inclusion Badging Program, and the three areas that CHAOSS has to get involved in. Also, we learn about Sustain, how it started, what they do, and what Georg says works well for the Sustain community that brought him in. Also, find out where you can get involved in both the CHAOSS community and Sustain community. Download this episode now to find out more!

\n\n[00:23:40] Talking about metrics now, there is a discussion about some challenges to overcome in metrics and the impact that the work in the open in software and other types of open has.
\n\n[00:26:04] On the idea of a healthy community, Brian asks Stephen how he is addressing the challenges with working in an academic environment with students who are rotating every four to six years and accepting student contributions.
\n\n[00:32:50] Stephen shares a story about his students working on an open project on a video chat program for One Laptop per Child, focusing on the needs of a deaf user.
\n\n[00:34:52] Georg is curious if Stephen has thoughts on how we can show impact in what kind of metrics we might be able to develop to show that we are doing good things in the maintenance of work that is not originally our own. Stephen mentions a community of professors called, Teaching Open Source.
\n\n[00:39:43] Stephen tells us where to find him online.

\n\n[00:17:45] With 300,000 community members as a Community Manager, Sean asks Antonio how many projects, communities, and repositories he is trying to keep track of.
\n\n[00:20:07] Antonio talks about his approach to identifying who is in his community.
\n\n[00:23:51] We learn about the metrics Antonio is using.
\n\n[00:27:00] Sean asks Antonio when he looks at the metrics, are there things that block him from getting certain information and are there questions that you want to answer but can’t.
\n\n[00:29:10] Antonio mentions needing to be out in the community and do some social listening, and Georg has a suggestion on how the CHAOSS project handles this with their social currency metrics system.
\n\n[00:32:16] Daniel has some advice to share about how he was looking at different projects on how to make open source self-sustainable.
\n\n[00:36:56] Antonio shares with us what it means to him when he talks about a healthy community.
\n\n[00:40:19] Antonio tells us where we can find him on the internet.

\n\n[00:02:56] Ruth tells us all about herself, her background, as well as what Mautic is and what they do.
\n\n[00:04:41] Ruth shares with us what she’s doing with the metrics platform and how that has informed her work.
\n\n[00:06:31] Nicole mentions Ruth’s blog and she recently launched a community health dashboard. Since within the CHAOSS project they work with different metrics around community health, she wonders which metrics does she find most useful and not as useful? She also explains how these metrics have affected her work since she’s made changes to the community over the last year.
\n\n[00:09:27] Ruth tells us what her plan is moving forward to balance contributors with users of the platform who might be non-coding. Venia asks Ruth if she finds that you have to balance the demand of users using the platform but who can’t contribute with the amount of people contributing to the program? Are these viewed as two separate but inner connected communities or do you treat them as one large community?
\n\n[00:11:52] Don wonders if Ruth sees a lot people who are active in both maintaining a plugin and then also contributing to core or perhaps being a maintainer on a plugin and then also a core contributor?
\n\n[00:13:42] Daniel asks if Ruth if she has had any feedback from the community about privacy issues. She also explains how Mautic is handling the general PR of policy limiting what we can do as marketers.
\n\n[00:18:18] With all these challenges and the features that the software needs to provide, Georg wants to know if this is something that the community takes up. Also, since Ruth said there’s a lot of education that needs to happen on how to use the tool properly, how does that get into the community?
\n\n[00:20:38] Ruth talks about documentation and Mautic participating in a Google Season of Docs.
\n\n[00:23:07] Nicole brings up something interesting Ruth brought up in her blog about a project that brings together contributors and makes them experts in a particular area of contribution where they’re contributing to features of a project.
\n\n[00:25:56] Ruth fills us in on the community health report and the way she’s done it to inform people how to do it their own communities to great health and community empowerment. She also tells us if she uses a lot of qualitative data processes when building the report and what the conversations look like between the community members who read the report.
\n\n[00:30:25] The topic of KPI’s and metrics being monitored is discussed here.
\n\n[00:33:10] Integrating privacy tools and the challenge marketers face with the number of tools they have in their stack is discussed.

\n\n[00:02:33] We start here with learning about what measurement tools exist in the CHAOSS project.
\n\n[00:07:06] Georg gives us some context on how Bitergia, GrimoireLab, Bitergia Analytics, and CHAOSS all relate to each other.
\n\n[00:09:01] Manrique fills us in on why Open Source is relevant to what they’re doing with Bitergia and GrimoireLab.
\n\n[00:10:37] Since Venia is the co-creator of one of the metrics, Matt is wondering when she looks at the GrimoireLab tool chain, how does that add value to what she’s looking to achieve with it?
\n\n[00:12:41] Ray has a question for Manrique and Georg and wonders what have they benefited from joining CHAOSS and what have they been able to gain from being a part of a larger community? Also, have there been other benefits that they have gained from working with other software communities related to metrics?
\n\n[00:16:04] Venia mentions how she wants to applaud Bitergia for how much they advertise CHAOSS and Bitergia being completely separate entities and she explains.
\n\n[00:17:55] What is the goal of using GrimoireLab and what are some examples of people using it right now?
\n\n[00:22:56] Ray tells us how he uses GrimoireLab. Also, Venia gives us her thoughts on dashboarding.
\n\n[00:32:22] Sean is curious to know what kinds of choices are made in the design of the GrimoireLab technology to prohibit, prevent, or create some of transparency around anything that might be used to measure and individual? Also, since Git Log stores his identifying information organically, how do they handle that technically? Manrique answers these questions.
\n\n[00:00:00] Matt asks Valerio if he has any stories or ideas that come to mind on how he chose to write the software that would be interesting to somebody that may not be as deep in the code as him?
\n\n[00:39:12] Valerio is a mentor for Google Summer of Code participants and he’s going to tell us a little about what that is.

In this podcast, we will share use cases and experiences with measuring open source community health. There will be elevating conversations about metrics, analytics, and software from the Community Health Analytics Open Source Software or CHAOSS Project. It’s new, and new is always good. And hey, it’s got that new podcast smell ☺. Since this is the first episode, we’ll be finding out more about our panelists. Kick back, relax, and take a listen. \n\n[00:01:15] Dawn Foster has been in the industry for more than 20 years and she’s been working on Open Source software most of that time. She is currently at VMware where she is Open Source Community Strategy Lead. She started getting passionate about the open source software communities back in the early 2000’s when she was at Intel. Her interest in open source metrics really came out of feeling a need to justify her own existence. \n\n[00:04:14] Georg Link started his open source journey with a project at openoffice.org. This experience of having a resilient healthy community that can go do its own thing fascinated him. Now he is working as Director of Sales for Bitergia, which is a company out of Spain, that provides metrics and analytics for a software development project and open source projects for the last eight years. \n\n[00:05:44] Matt Broberg’s story with metrics is that he fell in love with community management early on. He was in tech support at a large storage vendor and in there he found out that he can build these communities of people that he truly enjoyed working with. Six years ago, he got a job focusing on open source. He fell in love with the ability for people to solve their own problem. He is currently the Technical Editor of Opensource.com. He is very excited to get this podcast off the ground!\n\n[00:08:42] Matt Germonprez is a Professor at the University of Nebraska-Omaha in the College of Information-Science and Technology. It started for him with a class he was having with a seminar session that was on open source. He had a former student give a guest talk virtually about open source and he explained about corporate engagement with open source and it blew his mind. They both ended up writing a grant to the National Science Foundation that got funded to explore the changing nature of open source work. They worked on this project for about 5 years and they got to explore why and how companies are engaged. \n\n[00:12:20] Matt G. tells us what the CHAOSS Project is and why it exists. \n\n[00:14:12] Is CHAOSS an Acronym or a Backronym? It’s a great story!\n\n[00:16:30] Dawn tells us the structure of CHAOSS and her involvement with it. \n\n[00:19:26] Matt B. tells us what is was like to come to the CHAOSS Project and what is his experience getting engaged since he came last the project. \n\n[00:22:12] Matt G. tells us we don’t have all the answers, but we work with anybody that wants to contribute to help find those answers of understanding community health better. Also, why did we start this podcast? Find out here ☺. \n\nPicks\n\n\n [00:28:33] Dawn’s pick is the Auger tool.\n [00:29:30] Matt B.’s pick is Awesome Zoom Backgrounds for your next zoom or video chat.
