summary

CHAOSS provides MIT‑licensed CHAOSS Practitioner Guides and tooling (notably Augur and GrimoireLab) to turn public repository data into actionable metrics; the project is globally distributed with over 2,000 Slack members and a viability matrix. Guides focus on four measurable areas: responsiveness metric, contributor sustainability, organizational diversity (affiliation data often needs manual cleanup), and security (use dependency checks, Dependabot, and OSS‑SF best practices badge criteria). Guides include concrete steps to set expectations, promote contributors, and fix release or patch bottlenecks.
