All,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I just logged into OpenHub and tried to see what updates I could add in there, and there’s not muchas far as options go for updating things manually, there are some things. So I guess I’m on the fence about it for similar reasons to those described
by Jim. I’ll wander back into it as time allows, but no predictions yet about a timeline on being able to make it accurately reflect the project goings ons.</div>

<div dir="auto" class="">Speaking as a member of the GeoMoose PSC and as one of the people who keeps GeoMoose up to date in OSGeo-Live... It isn't clear to me what to do about it but for the record OpenHub seems to be pretty confused about GeoMoose.

<div dir="auto" class="">It is missing our early history (2005-2009). It is confused about our recent history (probably because of our use of git submodules). And it is completely unaware of our 3.0 developments (which are happening in new repos, incidently
because we want to move away from git submodules).</div>

<div dir="auto" class="">As a project we would much rather be putting our time into maintaining 2.9.x and into the current effort to moderize our project for what will become our 3.0 release than worring about how to get a black box (OpenHub) to properly understand
our project's history. Maybe when things quiet down OpenHub tinkering will make it to the top of the list, but I don't see that being the case anytime soon.</div>

Hi Activity Workshop,<br class="">
<br class="">
Yes, you make some good points, there are a number of things we should be considering when selecting a project for OSGeo-Live. A more detailed list is provided in our application form:<br class="">

You're correct to say that these metrics should not be the only criterion for<br class="">
removing projects from OSGeo-Live. There are so many other (in my view more<br class="">
important) factors to consider:<br class="">
- is the software useful? Is the software reliable?<br class="">
- is the inclusion straightforward or does it require lots of building /<br class="">
packaging / patching / dependency-resolution work from the OSGeo-Live team?<br class="">
- does it take up a lot of disk space?<br class="">
- is the team responsive to questions from the OSGeo-Live team, are the<br class="">
developers helpful with providing information and documentation?<br class="">
- and many other factors too of course.<br class="">
<br class="">

I think it should be a priority of all projects to try an ensure their<br class="">
OpenHub metrics reflect the true health of their project ...<br class="">

Well, OpenHub (BlackDuck) is a company. If (in your opinion) their numbers<br class="">
aren't providing a useful picture then it is arguable whether this should be put<br class="">
at the door of all the unpaid open software developers, or alternatively at the<br class="">
door of the company's staff and systems.<br class="">
