>>>
>>> *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

>>> And last, but not least, we have started to develop a new version of
