# Open source timeline
[](#contributors-)
The open source timeline aims to collect events and periods within open source history in a machine-readable format (comma separated value).
## Schema
Each entry in the timeline should have the following information:
- `start`, date in the format YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM, or YYYY
- `end`, date in the format YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM, or YYYY (optional; primarily used for periods)
- `title`, ideally a short string
- `description`, 1-3 sentences with more information
- `eventType`, using one of the following strings:
- `release`, for events such as UNIX's fourth edition which was rewritten in `C` or the introduction of `git`
- `vulnerability`, for events such as Heartbleed or Log4shell
- `milestone`, for events such as Linux breaking 3% of market share for desktop in 2020 or the founding of the Open Source Initiative (OSI)
- `other`, for events that don't fit into any of the above categories; please add tags if you use this `eventType`
- `eventImportance`, using one of the following strings:
- `note`, for events that are more commentary or tangentially related to open source events
- `low`, for minor events
- `medium`, for normal-ish level events
- `high`, for events that had a major impact on open source
- `critical`, for events that had an impact beyond the open source ecosystem
- `referenceURI`, a link that acts as a citation for the event
- `imageURI`, a link to an image that represents the event (optional)
- `mediaURIs`, a list of links that provide additional context (optional)
- `tags`, a list of keywords that add context (optional)
The official schema is captured in [schema.json](schema.json), which is enforced when adding new entries to the timeline.
