Today, organizations engaged with open source projects often rely on a collection of rare super-experts to construct approximations on the health of open source projects. Reliance on super-experts makes it difficult for organizations to consistently understand their open source engagements strategically. As such, indicators of healthy engagements appear haphazard to program managers accustomed to clearer guidance. To address this problem, the CHAOSS project focuses on understanding how open source projects are represented and understood in predictable and measurable ways.

In this presentation, Matt and Sean focus on how the CHAOSS project turns abstract ideas of open source project health into clearer guidance. The presentation will focus on work occurring in CHAOSS towards making key health concerns regarding project risk and project diversity & inclusion more concrete -- highlighting CHAOSS efforts that include a detailed report on the Zephyr Community and strategic advances focused on Diversity & Inclusion, such as the D&I Badging Program.
