论文摘要
开源软件（OSS）是我们数字基础架构的主要组成部分，但是超过80％的项目失败了。寻求较少的不确定性，许多OSS项目加入了已建立的软件社区，例如Apache Software Foundation（ASF），并获得了既定的规则和社区支持，以指导项目实现可持续性。在其新生阶段，ASF项目在ASF孵化器（ASFI）中孵化，该项目为长期可持续性提供了系统的指导。 ASFI的项目最终通过毕业（成功或退休（如果不是）毕业或退休）结束了他们的孵化。 开发人员活动的时空痕迹可从ASF公开获得，可用于监视项目轨迹以实现可持续性。在这里，我们提供了一个Web应用仪表板工具Apex，该工具允许内部和外部利益相关者监视和探索ASFI项目可持续性轨迹，包括社交和技术网络。
Open Source Software (OSS) is a major component of our digital infrastructure, yet more than 80% of such projects fail. Seeking less uncertainty, many OSS projects join established software communities, e.g., the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), with established rules and community support to guide projects toward sustainability. In their nascent stage, ASF projects are incubated in the ASF incubator (ASFI), which provides systematic mentorship toward long-term sustainability. Projects in ASFI eventually conclude their incubation by either graduating, if successful, or retiring, if not. Time-stamped traces of developer activities are publicly available from ASF, and can be used for monitoring project trajectories toward sustainability. Here we present a web app dashboard tool, APEX, that allows internal and external stakeholders to monitor and explore ASFI project sustainability trajectories, including social and technical networks.
