Josianne,

Thanks from me as well. Too bad we didn't have a chance to meet in person
over the past years.

Best of luck!

>> Software updates (summary also available in the slide deck)
>>
>>
>>
>> *Augur Update:*
>>
>> Augur is an increasingly robust, systematically designed data collection,
>> analytical and notification system for making sense of the health and
>> sustainability of open source software project health and sustainability.
>> We maintain our identity as a prototyping system, and expect the
>> innovations we have developed in the past year will inspire other projects,
>> and are proud of the organizations, open source program offices, and open
>> source community managers we have helped through our work. Remy
>> DeCausemaker from Twitter is a tireless, friendly source of inspiration and
>> constructive critique that influenced our choice to evaluate and
>> reconstruct the hear of Augur this year. Our Google summer of code students
>> Parth and Bingwen worked hard with our core Augur team of Gabe Heim, Carter
>> Landis, Derek Howard, and Jonah Zukowsky through the summer to make our new
>> vision for Augur real. New team members, Elita Nelson, Carolyn Periciniaro,
>> Paul Orton and Sean's computer science undergraduate students are a part of
>> Augur's growing core contributors. Proof, in a sense, that we are learning
>> how to onboard new contributors more effectively.
>>
>>     Augur Accomplishments, 2018-2019:
>>
>> 1.     Working with CHAOSS's stakeholder community we designed and
>> implemented a comprehensive, unified data model that brings together
>> insights from Brian Warner's Facade Project, Libraries.io, GHTorrent,
>> DOSoCs (now "chaoss/augur-sbom"), Brian Proffit's, Dawn Foster's and
>> GrimoireLab's insights about individual identity and organizational
>> affiliation complexity. A single data model that stores system-specific
>> software engineering synonyms for "commit", "issue", "pull request", and
>> other constructs.
>>
>> 2.     The unified data model accelerates analysis of open source
>> ecosystems, and projects that are managed in heterogeneous .git
>> infrastructure.
>>
>> 3.     To collect data, Augur now relies on a federated broker-worker
>> system. Six workers are presently deployed and operating against over
>> 15,000 repositories for a diverse group of open source stakeholders. Each
>> worker continuously collects data, and sends it to the broker, who stores
>> the data. A Housekeeper makes sure every worker keeps doing their job.
>>
>> 4.     A new design of our API endpoints follows a common :repo_id/name
>> and :repo_group(project)_id/name standard that eases the implementation of
>> customized, organization specific distribution of Augur data.
>>
>> 5.     Augur's front end is completely redesigned and rewritten using
>> Typescript instead of Javascript, which is lowering our change and
>> maintenance costs.
>>
>> 6.     The number of Augur deployments continues to grow, and our
>> newcomer experience is significantly improved since March, 2019.
>>
>> 7.     Our collaborations with the Grace Hopper Conference, including an
>> Augur workshop, is helping to push these advances forward.
>>
>> 8.     We now use machine learning and statistical algorithms to
>> identify events buried in the 60+ metrics endpoints our restful API now
>> supports.
>>
>> 9.     The resulting insights are provided via push notifications in
>> Slack, email and other messenger clients.
>>
>> 10.  Augur's front end and back end are now independently deployable,
>> meaning that new users can use Augur only for API's it uses to feed their
>> own systems, or begin to work with our front end.
>>
>>     Augur Goals, 2019-2020:
>>
>> 1.     Integration of HyperLedger/Indy for federated, secure single sign
>> on.
>>
>> 2.     Continued advances in the deployment of our machine learning
>> anomaly detection, and push notification system.
>>
>> 3.     Creating CHAOSS metrics from the 24 Augur endpoints that are not
>> currently defined as CHAOSS metrics.
>>
>> 4.     Implementation of our value workers based on the COCOMO model of
>> software engineering labor and cost estimation
>>
>> 5.     Implementation of test coverage metrics from the Risk working
>> group.
>>
>> 6.     Providing technical infrastructure to enable diversity and
>> inclusion working group process aims to be supported in context with
>> Augur's whole system.
>>
>> 7.     Incorporating important content directing Augur users to
>> resources for risk management, value assessment, diversity and inclusion
>> awareness and organizational and individual developer information.
>>
>> 8.     A user configurable mechanism for deriving user directed
>> "dashboard indicators" of comparative health within their ecosystem.
>>
>> *GrimoireLab Update:*
>>
>> The development around Grimoirelab never stops, it spans from maintenance
>> tasks which aim at improving the quality of the platform, to new
>> development lines that are setting the basis for brand-new features.
>>
>> Since March 2019, under the umbrella of maintenance tasks it is worth
>> mentioning the support for GDPR compliance (a topic that is becoming more
>> and more important) and Mozilla Lead Data initiative
>> <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/policy/lean-data/>, plus some
>> enhancements on the data retrieval (Perceval) and enrichment (ELK).
>>
>> Perceval is now able to use multiple tokens to fetch GitHub data,
>> supports OAuth tokens for GitLab and Meetup backends, and collects
>> statistics (e.g., number of forks and watchers) for GitHub repositories.
>>
>> On the other hand, the enriched data produced by ELK includes information
>> about:
>>
>> (i) patchsets, approvals and comments for Gerrit reviews,
>>
>> (ii) creator, assignee and reporter for Jira issues.
>>
>> In terms of upcoming features, new development lines have been created to
>>
>> (i) allow managing identities using GraphQL (SortingHat),
>>
>> (ii) provide an administrative interface for GrimoireLab (Raistlin),
>>
>> (iii) simplify the management of dashboards (Archimedes)
>>
>> (iv) simplify the way of storing the data retrieved by Perceval (Citadel).
>>
>> Together with this effort, a special attention is being given to
>> documentation (a restyling of the tutorial is ongoing) and the way of
>> deploying the platform.
>>
>> And last, but not least, we have started to develop a new version of
>> Cauldron, a PoC of GrimoireLab served as SaaS, to include latest updates of
>> GrimoireLab and playing with potential new technologies to be integrated in
>> Bitergia products. You can check it online in https://alpha.cauldron.io
>>
>> *Cregit Update:*
>>
>> ·       Journal paper available at https://github.com/dmgerman/papers
>>
>> ·       New interfaces for displaying hierarchical information has been
>> deployed on https://cregit.linuxsources.org/
>>
>> ·       Work ongoing for tracing provenance of code between
>> repositories.
>>
>> ·       Extending work on linking the email threads to code, and doing
>> sentiment mining of the data focused on the linux kernel.
>>
>>
>>
>> *Google Summer of Code Update:*
>>
>>
>>
>> ·       Most successful year. All four students made significant
>> contributions to the project.
>>
>> ·       Encourage everyone to check out blog posts from interns
>>
>> ·       Discussion on creating a page on CHAOSS website to recognize
>> interns
>>
>>
>>
>> *D&I metrics*
>>
>> ·       Talk to foundations including the LF (Angela for events), ASF,
>> etc.
