Episode 132: Please take the CHAOSScast Impact Survey - and we're taking a break

Thank you to the folks at Sustain for providing the hosting account for CHAOSSCast! CHAOSScast – Episode 132 We don’t have an episode for you today, because CHAOSScast will be taking a break for a few months. During the break we will be evaluating how CHAOSScast supports the goals of the CHAOSS project. And to help us to do that, we would like to invite you to take a short survey by going to the link: https://forms.gle/zrvanrRArgzc3wDD9 The survey closes on Friday, May 15th 2026. In this short recording we go through the survey questions to get you thinking about your answers before you go ahead and take it, and first we share with you the goals of the CHAOSS project so that you have some extra context to help you answer in an informed way. CHAOSS aims to: Establish metrics and models for measuring open source community health Produce open source software and initiatives for measuring community health Develop programs for deploying metrics beyond trace data Work with global partners to shape how we understand open source community health The survey is quite short, but it’s really meaningful to helping us know how the podcast contributes to achieving CHAOSS’s goals. We are especially interested in honest feedback, even if you rarely listen. Thanks for helping.
