The OpenStack Community in numbers

• Large and diverse community

  • More than 20 million lines of code
• Most recent (“Ocata”) release stats:

Community metrics

• Publicly available statistics about the community
  • Activity
  • Status
  • Progress
• The data can be collected and analyzed by anyone
• The metrics should be used within context
  • Don’t game the numbers
  • Numbers should not be used as an indication for competition

Stackalytics

• Provides transparent and meaningful statistics regarding contributions to both OpenStack itself and projects related to OpenStack
  • Transparency: the community can have confidence that all calculations are correct and fair
  • Meaningful: anyone may submit a correction that will adjust the influence of appropriate statistical data
• Collects and processes development activity data and makes it possible to visualize it in a convenient web dashboard

Note

• Stackalytics Wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Stackalytics
• There is a Forum session in Boston about the future of Stackalytics as there are issues with the tool. As we don’t have a replacement as of now we can still share info about the currently available tool.
