Titre : Measuring free software development 

Abstract : 

Most free / open source software projects have publicly available
repositories with many details about how their activity. Al changes are
recorded in the source code management system (Subversion, git,
Mercurial, bazaar, etc.), along with who and when made the change, and
other metainformation. Issue tracking (ticketing) systems (Bugzilla,
Jira, etc.) record not only bug reports and how they are fixed, but also
feature requests, design discussions, etc. Mailing lists, irc logs or
forums carry information about discussions, user support, etc. All of
this information, when properly analyzed, can be used to track how a
project is performing, and to detect interesting patterns and potential
or real problems early. The talk will present how all if this can be
done with the tools in the MetricsGrimoire toolset, including some
examples for specific projects.
