Open Source Community Health: Your Guide to Continuous (Community) Improvement | The Open Source Show

This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: Channel 9.

Metrics, tracking, and logging for software development are well known – but ways to indicate community  "health" are  ambiguous. How do you avoid vanity metrics? How do other open source projects, community managers, and community event organizers and organizers do it? What if you're failing?

Jono Bacon (@jonobacon) and Jessica Deen (@jldeen) break down quantitative v. qualitative metrics, what data matters (and doesn't), why validations are more important than events, and share how they approach failure and continuous improvement. 

You'll walk away with a few practical ways to "instrument" your community and activities, track the right actions, plus advice for overcoming fear of failure.
