The LF CHAOSS community is committed to helping people understand the health status of the open source projects they rely on. As a community that spans multiple open source projects and organizations, CHAOSS is dedicated to defining common metrics and methods for evaluating and improving the health of open source communities. We work closely with OSS-Compass to provide more comprehensive and in-depth assessments of the health status of open source communities. In this presentation, we will introduce the collaboration background and benefits between these two communities.

This topic will introduce the OSS-Compass community and its SaaS services provided to the public, helping people understand the ecological health of open source communities. We will use evaluation models to gain a deeper understanding of community health, and provide detailed introductions to new features such as insight report subscription systems, developer milestone models, and Compass Lab. The report subscription system allows users to easily obtain evaluation reports for managing or caring about communities in a timely manner; the developer milestone model helps users understand whether different links in open source communities are smooth experiences and promotion channels, as well as how software version iterations and operational activities affect developers; finally, Compass Lab can help community decision-makers customize evaluation dashboards that are suitable for their communities to better understand community health. We hope to provide valuable information and ideas for those who care about the health of open source communities.
