Open Source Summit North America 2017

We will present some typical community management worries about community health, productivity and visibility and how some open source tools could be used to face them. Open source development transparency allows community to behave as data scientists and extract valuable information.

During last years we have seen the growth of an specific position in many companies and OSS foundations. You might have seen them as “community managers”, “developer advocates”, “developer relations”, etc. All of them share some goals / responsibilities in common with their communities: health, productivity and visibility. How to achieve them?
It has been said that “without data, you are another person with an opinion”, and management shouldn’t rely in.

During this talk, we will present some community managers typical questions and how tools OSS, like for example GrimoireLab, could be used to answer them.
