= CHAOSS =

CHAOSS is a Linux Foundation project focused on creating analytics and metrics to help define community health. The acronym CHAOSS stands for Community Health Analytics Open Source Software.

History
The CHAOSS project was announced on September 12, 2017 at the Open Source Summit North America 2017 in Los Angeles. The CHAOSS project was co-founded companies, open source foundations, and universities creating an environment for exploring community health metrics and developing related tooling.

The first CHAOSS metric release was on August 6, 2019.

CHAOSS Metrics
At the time of the first metric release, five working groups were working on metrics.


 * Common Metrics Working Group
 * Diversity and Inclusion Working Group
 * Evolution Working Group
 * Risk Working Group
 * Value Working Group

Augur
Augur is focused on prototyping open source software metrics. Functionally, Augur is a prototyped implementation of the Linux Foundation's CHAOSS Project on open source software metrics. Technically, Augur is a Flask web application, Python library and REST server that presents metrics on open source software development project health and sustainability.

Augur started as a CHAOSS project. Development was led by the University of Missouri and the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Initial work on Augur was funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Cregit
Cregit is a framework of tools that facilitates the analysis and visualization of the evolution of source code stored in git repositories.

Cregit was developed by Danie German and contributed to CHAOSS as an inaugural project.

GrimoireLab
GrimoireLab is a toolset for software development analytics. It includes a coordinated set of tools to retrieve data from systems used to support software development (repositories), store it in databases, enrich it by computing relevant metrics, and making it easy to run analytics and visualizations on it. GrimoireLab is focused on analyzing activity, community, and processes, but can be tailored for other aims. The modular design allows integrating GrimoireLab components with other tools.

GrimoireLab was developed by Bitergia and contributed to CHAOSS as an inaugural project.

Prospector
Prospector was initiated by the Red Hat legal department in 2012 with the recognition that large portions of the software Industry are increasingly being driven by open source innovation. It was designed to provide a detailed, objective, and systematic approach to evaluating communities. This allows for assessment of the health and trends of open source projects.

In 2017 Prospector was licensed under GPL v. 3 and became part of the CHAOSS Project.

CHAOSScon
CHAOSScon is a community organized event series. CAHOSScon provides a venue for discussing open source project health, CHAOSS updates, use cases, and hands-on workshops for developers, community managers, project managers, and anyone interested in measuring open source project health.

The first CHAOSScon was held 2018 in Brussels, Belgium, co-located with FOSDEM. The second CHAOSScon was held 2018 in Vancouver, Canada, co-located with the Open Source Summit North America. The series continues with two events each year, always co-located with FOSDEM and Open Source Summit North America. CHAOSScon talks are video recorded and made available on the CHAOSS YouTube channel.
