# CHAOSS App Ecosystem Working Group



## Introduction



The mission of this working group is to build a base set of metrics that is focused on the needs of open source communities that are part of the FOSS app ecosystem.

## Background



### Problem Statement



The diversity of FOSS is vast and there are many different kinds of communities out there. Some projects are modest with 5-6 contributors working on something in their spare time. Some are the foundation of a company where hundreds or thousands of developers are working on them. This working group is focused on communities that are a combination of both. Aspirational projects that scale to hundreds or thousands of contributors that require community management that have different goals and decision making than a corporate backed or inner source project but still requires sophisticated metrics.



### Opportunity



This is a gap that we believe should be filled by building an alliance amongst major stakeholders to build a metrics standard amongst a class of communities that have never actually built the level of sophistication before. As these tech communities migrate to more sophisticated development platforms like Gitlab - it's possible to start building foundational technologies that we can build on.



### Goal



The goals of the working group is to build a base set of metrics that can shared amongst a set of communities (today that is GNOME and KDE) that we can then build upon for other communities.



## Objectives



A few key objectives:

* Document and explore the decisions that we make that we need metrics to explore

* Build a set of metrics from those decisions

* Present those metrics to the CHAOSS community for feedback
