Uncovering New Open Source Communities Graphically

Explore the dynamic world of open source ecosystems through a conference talk that demonstrates how graph theory techniques and algorithms can be used to visualize and analyze open source communities. Learn how the Augur OSS project collects data from GitHub projects to create graphical networks, and discover the application of centrality algorithms like PageRank and Betweenness centrality in identifying significant project communities. Gain insights into tracking emerging projects, user groups, and community growth, while understanding the importance of graphical techniques in simplifying complex systems and networks. Walk away with knowledge on how to visualize open source ecosystems and their interconnections, empowering business leaders, OSPOs, and individual contributors to make informed decisions about investing in and supporting exciting new projects.
