Assessing the Health of an Open Source Project - Open Source Readiness

<p><strong>In this episode of the podcast, Dave Neary, Red Hat Community Architect gives a presentation on Assessing the Health of an Open Source Project: What are the things to look out for when evaluating the community health of a project (and how does community health factor into long-term sustainability)?</strong></p> <p><br></p> <h4>SHOW NOTES</h4> <p><strong>Talk Description:</strong></p> <p><strong>A healthy open source project is one that you expect to be around in several years, and will continue to develop, with new features, regular updates, and conscientious maintainers. Healthy projects demonstrate open practices, use open infrastructure to engage with their users, and cultivate an open culture, with the goal of becoming more sustainable.</strong></p> <p><strong>In this presentation, we will describe some of the key factors you can examine to evaluate if a project is healthy, and can be expected to be around in the long term. As the number of these factors a project has going for it increases, its health rating, and as a result the confidence you can have in it, increases too.</strong></p> <p><strong>Evaluating Open Source Project Health</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.redhat.com/en/resources/open-source-project-health-%20checklist"><strong>Checklist for measuring the health of an open source project</strong></a><strong> from Red Hat</strong></li> <li><strong>LF's </strong><a href="https://chaoss.community/"><strong>Community Health Analytics Open Source Software (CHAOSS)</strong></a><strong> Project</strong></li> </ul> <p><strong>Starting an Open Source Project</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.linuxfoundation.org/resources/open-source-guides/starting-an-open-source-project/"><strong>Starting an Open Source Project</strong></a><strong> from Linux Foundation's </strong><a href="https://todogroup.org/#"><strong>TODO Group</strong></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.redhat.com/en/resources/how-to-launch-an-open-source-project-overview?f%5B0%5D=taxo"><strong>How to Launch an Ope
