Agenda

• We will start by mentioning the project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.

  • Antitrust Policy

• Check Action Items & Topic Requests (Backlog)

• General Topics

  • LFX Insights Feedback: go through burning issues from projects (35min)

    • Project feedback:

      Nephio
      a.) LFX does not provide credible data to determine eligible voters (calculated by contributions collected in LFX Insights). Porch subproject was not counted in Insights.
      b.) LFX Insight data accuracy and trustworthiness: overall, individual contributors and company statistics looked weird.
      c.) LXF dashboard data presentation: Bitergia was superior in displaying data

      • Jonathan Reimer from the Linux Foundation shared the documentation for LFX Insights

        • https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/insights/v3-beta-version-current/core-concepts#contributions

      • LFX does not provide relevant information important for company OSPOS, like

        • Company contributions per different projects and sub projects during a given timeframe

        • Person contributions per projects and sub projects during a given time period

        • Contributor company association is not working (although set in contributor profile)

        • It is impossible to figure out the source of the data (Contributor Leaderboard). e.g Contributor:John Doe, Activities: 217, Change: +36, % Contribution: 27

          • Who is John Doe: no link to profile

          • Activities: no link to details like what was contributed (Gerrit, Github) and where (which subprojects)

        • Missing things important for community leaders

          • No breakdown of data per sub projects (RA2, Functest and so on)

          • No aggregation of data among VCS (Who are the main contributors in Gerrit + GitHub)?

          • No transparent display of data for vote eligibility and breakdown that data

    • @Dave Wallace made a comment that it would be nice to be able to hide or separate if a subproject is archived and filter that data when necessary.

    • @Olaf Renner it would be great if we had a way to show and filter lifecycle state.

    • @Dave Wallace noted that it would be nice to show previous change value in the percentages

  • AI seat self-nomination (5min)

    • 2024 AI Seat Election - LF Networking - Confluence

    • self nomination will end Jan 7, 2025

  • Lifecycle Updates (20min)

Action items

Minutes

LFX insights

• LFX Insight data is pulled once a day.

• Data is pulled independently from each source (Gerrit, Github)

• A contribution is defined as : see documentation Core Concepts | Linux Foundation Documentation

Feedback

• Data from GitHub - nephio-project/porch was missing: Porch was not associated to Nephio in LFX (fixed).

  • Cause of incomplete data needs further investigation.

• To determine eligible voters a list of top 10 (example to reach quorum) contributors over a specific timeframe would be helpful

• Company association: who of company x is contributing where.

  • This is a common feature request. Issue is that LFX Insights are publicly available and history of potentially changing company affiliation is not allowed to be shared. Needs further investigation if this could be retrieved over Project Control Center.

  • Connection between LFX Insights and LFX Personal Profile (to set company affiliation) will be implemented.

• Grouping of data sources for statistics

  • a possibility to remove archived project repos from statistics

  • display status of projects/repos: project life cycle stages (sandbox, incubation, graduated, archived): data available, a matter of displaying it in the dashboard

  • sub-project consisting of multiple repos: would be rather static association of repos to a “sub-project” (repos may be added or archived over time)

    • in theory possible with LFX insights

  • flexible selection of repos for statistics: some repos are not relevant for statistics and it would be great to uncheck them from statistics calculation

    • information is available in the data-lake. There is a plan to give projects access to the data-lake to compile own statistics

• Meaning of “no data to display” in LFX Insight Contributors dashboard: is it that data is not available/source not connected or no contribution happened?

  • means that for the selected time frame no contributions happened

    • could be renamed to “no contributions in selected time frame” to make it more clear
