Hi openstackers,<div><br></div><div>as a developer, I'm less carried about numbers of threads/messages in IRC/commits,</div><div><i>but more about the activities and content</i>. Existing weekly review seems to me</div>
<div>already perfect in terms of numbers; since we relocated to github it's even easier</div><div>to see impact.</div><div><br></div><div>Weekly news now missing the section 'Developing mailing list' (12 Aug was the last one?),</div>
<div>where we could get overview of what are the major things were discussed in the mail list.</div><div>I loved this section, and would love to see it again.</div><div>If someone could do a similar summarizing of IRC talks, that would be perfect.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I personally don't care about # of commits and who writes what (I can use git blame if I need :)),</div><div>but it would be extremely helpful for me to see what was changed in the code since last week.</div>
<div>Namely, what branches/bugfixes merged. If exists, some notices, like 'Be careful, I changed</div><div>smth here, smth there may depend on it'.</div><div><br></div><div>One more thing - blueprints. I didn't find any mechanism on launchpad that allows me to follow</div>
<div>changes in blueprints (added, changed status, etc.). Please point me, how can I do it.</div><div>If it's not possible with launchpad - again, I would love to see it in weekly news.</div><div>I even prefer to see it in weekly news, may be with some more details, like:</div>
<div><feature A> <url_to_code> <+/- lines of code since last week>, so I'll be able to see if</div><div>there any progress on the feature.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hello folks,<br>
<br>
in the next weeks I would like to start collecting some relevant data<br>
about the OpenStack community. One of the reasons for this effort is<br>
to understand it and communicate it to the outsiders better.<br>
<br>
There are lots of dimensions we can track: usage, awareness,<br>
developers engagement and more. Some efforts are already ongoing<br>
tracking awareness and usage, with the weekly report published<br>
semi-regularly on the blog.<br>
<br>
I would like to discuss with you ideas for other things you would like<br>
to see measured with regards to developers engagement in the<br>
community.<br>
<br>
here are a few things I think can be useful to measure regularly:<br>
<br>
* discussions on the mailing lists<br>
# of threads and messages<br>
top writers and company's affiliation<br>
<br>
* IRC discussions,<br>
top contributors, most common words<br>
<br>
On the code side, we may want to start tracking, for each project:<br>
<br>
# of forks, commits, reviews, "watch" (in github lingo)<br>
authors and their affiliation<br>
contributions in changesets and lines of code<br>
(more or less what Jonathan Corbet did with the kernel)<br>
<br>
# of bugs filed, opened, closed, reviewed<br>
people that acted [open|review|close] on bugs<br>
<br>
# of blueprints in the different status<br>
people that acted on them<br>
<br>
As developers, are there any other dimensions that you would like to<br>
see measured?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
stef<br>
