Last month, we started publicly posting monthly community metrics
reports with all kinds of interesting information about the Puppet
Community. I also realized that I did a couple of blog posts about
this, but I had not posted it here on the mailing list for your
reading pleasure. The latest version of the metrics can be found here:
http://puppetlabs.com/community/metrics/
Here is a quick summary of the October edition of the metrics for your
reading pleasure, but you can also download the full October metrics
report: http://puppetlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Metrics-Oct-2012.pdf
October Metrics Summary:
4864 members and 1249 messages in Puppet-Users
899 members and 157 messages in Puppet-Dev
916 nicks on #puppet IRC channel
1731 Puppet Forge users and 577 modules
3526 Redmine accounts
399 forks / 1014 watchers of Puppet
Top 5 participants (by number of lines posted) in the #Puppet IRC channel:
* Volcane
* lavaman
* FriedBob
* fubada
* bubu\a
You can see the list of the top 20 people in the full report for October.
New this month, I’ve started gathering the top participants in each of
our community mailing lists. I am including the top 5 contributors in
the Puppet-Users mailing list, but you can see the full report for the
top users in Puppet-Dev and Puppet-Razor.
Top 5 participants (by number of messages / replies posted) in the
Puppet-Users list:
* jcbollinger
* Jeff McCune
* Josh Cooper
* Jakov Sosic
* Worker Bee
We’re also continuing to do a better job of merging code and keeping
the number of pull requests low in Puppet, at least compared to some
past months. We can always do a better job of more quickly merging
pull requests, but we’re continuing to work on improving this by
focusing some time on this activity. See October report for graph.
We also know that we have way too many outstanding issues in Redmine.
Many of these issues are in various limbo states, and they just need
people to go through and triage them. We’re working on a way to better
manage this process and make it easy for community contributors to
help with the triage process. We hope to have this ready in the next
couple of weeks. See October report for graph.
The full metrics report for October has several other charts that I
didn’t talk about here along with other details if you want to see
more: http://puppetlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Metrics-Oct-2012.pdf
This month, I added some new data for contributions to our mailing
lists, and I also hope to be adding additional details over the coming
months. If there is additional data you’d like to see, let me know,
and I’ll do what I can to get it included.
Thanks,
Dawn Foster
