Post Phase:
Analysis metrics:
- Number of new contributors (for a small enough set of new contributors it would be helpful to do a quick sketch of each person – who they are, where they work, why they are getting involved...)
- Number of organizations contributing (this would need to come from discussions with the new contributors to learn more about who they are. we could also combine this with the number above to see the number of contributors per organization to see how much internal interest and adoption there may be – is it just one person or many?)
- Number of questions per week asked on the main communication channel – in this case the BAF chat channel (this would be a manual metric to gather but we'll look into something automated for going forward)
- Website traffic on landing page
...
- and blog posts
- Number of PRs on Github (And longer term it would be good to build a retention stat from this info to see if people show up and continue to contribute or drop off)
- Number of community members attending planning call (this would also be a manual metric for now)
- Possibly a social media metric about mentions for BAF
- Note that usage and deployment metrics are challenging to gather with open source software so we are focusing on participation metrics
