  19:01:54 <armstrong> Hello
  19:03:36 <GeorgLink> We are starting now :-)
  19:04:49 <GeorgLink> #topic Progress update from Code of Conduct working group.
  19:05:22 <mattgermonprez> Code of conduct -- going through criteria and building out a table.
  19:05:32 <GeorgLink> #info CoC Working Group is finishing up. Looking to meet one last time.
  19:05:32 <mattgermonprez> Would like to make recommendation to gov. board
  19:09:16 <GeorgLink> #topic Update on Growth Maturity Decline metric
  19:10:10 <mattgermonprez> https://github.com/chaoss/metrics/blob/master/2_Growth-Maturity-Decline.md
  19:10:46 <GeorgLink> #info Over the last month, merged several pull requests. High level categories are Issue Resolution, Code Development, Community Growth.
  19:10:55 <GeorgLink> #link https://github.com/chaoss/metrics/blob/master/2_Growth-Maturity-Decline.md
  19:11:31 <GeorgLink> #info Metrics should all be implementable now.
  19:12:24 <GeorgLink> We are talking about how implementation may work - data to metric
  19:17:36 <GeorgLink> #help We would like the metrics to be implemented in GHData or GrimoireLab or other software. This would be good for iterating the metric and getting feedback on them.
  19:18:52 <GeorgLink> #idea A big part of metrics is the visualization. How involved should the metrics committee be in defining the visualizations?
  19:20:23 <GeorgLink> #idea Expand metrics tables on GitHub with a new column for visualizations?
  19:21:01 <GeorgLink> #topic Update on analysis tool comparisons
  19:22:33 <GeorgLink> #info Jason is comparing metrics definitions across software implementations.

  19:25:07 <JasonCL> https://github.com/jasontclark/chaoss-product-comparison
  19:28:16 <GeorgLink> #info What will the report compare in light of the very different scope and capabilities of the software? Maybe it is a list of all available software with a short introduction and some background of capability. Another approach could be to focus on only a few similar tools and compare them in more detail.
  19:30:09 <GeorgLink> #info Another interesting aspect about the software would be how adaptable it is as a tool for different scenarios, contexts, data sources, and data needs.
  19:32:37 <GeorgLink> #info It would be good to compare the metrics coverage of the available tools. In a sort of venn-diagram, the CHAOSS metrics committee might want to make sure that the most common metrics are included in our lists.
  19:35:05 <GeorgLink> #info Daniel has a list of metrics that GrimoireLab can produce across all the different data sources and in what format the metric is presented. It provides a set of 'fields' to play with.
  19:35:20 <GeorgLink> #action Daniel will send the list to the mailing list
  19:35:27 <GeorgLink> #topic New Diversity and Inclusion Workgroup
  19:37:48 <GeorgLink> #info the new workgroup is a collaboration between software and metric committee with a specific focus on diversity and inclusion
  19:38:41 <GeorgLink> #info The OpenStack gender report is a starting point. The methods for producing the report will be made available for other communities.
  19:41:09 <GeorgLink> #action A GitHub repo will be created for this work under the umbrella of the CHAOSS community.
  19:41:29 <GeorgLink> #topic Code Committee Updates
  19:41:52 <GeorgLink> #info GHData now is a CHAOSS project
  19:42:33 <GeorgLink> #info Software Committee is working on governance and voting rules
  19:43:08 <GeorgLink> #info GrimoireLab code base is moving to the CHAOSS organization with multiple repositories.
  19:47:47 <GeorgLink> #idea Is there a way to group repositories in GitHub? Maybe we want to create a readme that directs to the repos.
  19:47:54 <GeorgLink> #topic Release schedules
  19:48:12 <GeorgLink> #agreed Do not create branches but use releases in GitHub.
  19:48:33 <GeorgLink> #idea Create a PDF compilation of the metrics that is attached to the release.
  19:48:43 <GeorgLink> #topic Metrics Committee white papers / publications / outreach
  19:49:29 <GeorgLink> #info We are reaching out to people for interviews
  19:49:36 <GeorgLink> #topic Conferences
  19:50:59 <GeorgLink> #info Open Source Summit - CFP Closes: 11:59pm PST on Sunday, January 21, 2018
