| spotz | fungi do we still mirror to github? | 13:48 |
| *** whoami-rajat__ is now known as whoami-rajat | 13:59 | |
| fungi | spotz: yes | 14:43 |
| spotz | ok | 14:44 |
| fungi | it's done with a zuul job which runs after a change merges to any openstack deliverable repo | 14:44 |
| fungi | let me guess, you're asking because you received a survey where it said they analyzed contributions in github ;) | 14:45 |
| spotz | Yeah | 14:59 |
| fungi | it also said it would donate money to the openstack foundation for each response... i let them know that 1. it's the open infrastructure foundation now, and 2. as a trade organization it doesn't accept direct donations and is instead funded with member dues (but suggested some other ways they could use those funds, e.g. sponsoring local events or user group meetings) | 15:06 |
| spotz | I wasn't 100% sure it was legit | 15:07 |
| fungi | i also did my best to provide thorough answers to their survey questions, it seems like an interesting research topic and i'd like to encourage their continued enthusiasm for the community | 15:07 |
| spotz | The OSA Rackspace one was why I was wondering if GitHub was up to datte | 15:10 |
| fungi | they're probably looking at contributions over the lifetime of projects, rather than recent | 15:11 |
| spotz | Yeah I was just worried about them looking at out dated data | 15:44 |
| spotz | While I'm not surprised Rackspace still has the highest percentage of contributions there I'm also proud that it's a stable project without them | 15:45 |
| fungi | yep, they asked me about bagpipe-vpn being predominately developed by orange employees, and i did my best to point out that it's because orange developed and uses the bgp-based vpn software (bagpipe) which that driver integrates | 15:51 |
| fungi | er, they asked me about networking-bagpipe i mean | 15:52 |
| *** gmann is now known as gmann_afk | 15:59 | |
| spotz | I don't think I had that one | 16:00 |
| *** pojadhav|ruck is now known as pojadhav|dinner | 16:01 | |
| *** gmann_afk is now known as gmann | 16:17 | |
| *** pojadhav|dinner is now known as pojadhav|ruck | 16:25 | |
| clarkb | They seem to have intentionally targeted specific repos with high percentages of single company contribution. Including some of the cookiecutter repos | 16:27 |
| fungi | yep | 16:28 |
| clarkb | (and cookiecutter analysis is likely to only bias their study) | 16:28 |
| fungi | hopefully people will provide them with good responses which allow them to realize that attempts to draw conclusions in a vacuum will lead to faulty assumptions | 16:29 |
| fungi | i also pointed out that their methodology is biased because they're only looking at commit authorship and not other sorts of (arguably more influential) aspects of community involvement | 16:30 |
| *** pojadhav|ruck is now known as pojadhav|out | 17:27 | |
| spotz | fungi clarkb Yeah I'm not 100% sure of the validity of what they're doing. If we're also getting different questions it seems like they might be biasing responses. I do think we've shown that we are capable of moving past a large contributing company leaving | 19:37 |
| *** timburke_ is now known as timburke | 20:59 | |
