Measuring Community Health
summary
Practical, workshop-style details about measuring community health: concrete metrics and tools, not theory. Shows how to track first-time contributor labels and count community merge requests, use thumbs-up on issues to judge priority, and plug GrimoireLab or OpenHub dashboards into reporting. Covers operational tactics — sending swag via a vendor form, opt-out and data‑privacy pages, and pulling impact proxies from partner reports — plus how to align metrics to stakeholder KPIs and build programs to scale response.
