We all want our open source projects to be as healthy as possible, but measuring project health can be tricky because every OSPO and every project is unique, with differing needs, challenges, and opportunities. With hundreds of potential metrics to choose from, people often get overwhelmed by the options. How do you decide what to measure? Which metrics should you use? How should you interpret the results to take the unique needs of your projects into account? How can you draw meaningful conclusions and use what you’ve learned to improve open source project health? In this panel, you will learn from metrics experts working within the OSPOs at Google, Microsoft, and VMware. An expert moderator from Bloomberg’s OSPO asking the tough questions about project health metrics that every OSPO wants to hear answered. You will learn about how each of these companies approaches measuring project health, what to think about when interpreting metrics, and ways to use what you’ve learned to improve the health of the open source projects that your company and your OSPO cares about. The audience will walk away with lessons learned and tips for using project health metrics within your OSPO.
