Grumpy old Coders

After a year-long break, David and Thomas return to discuss CHAOSS (Community Health Analytics in Open Source Software), a Linux Foundation framework for evaluating open source project health. They explore metrics like compliance/security, governance, and community activity. The hosts emphasize that while metrics provide valuable data, community trust and authentic collaboration matter most. They also share motorcycle adventures—David's new Suzuki SV650 and their Black Forest tour. The episode closes with plans for more frequent releases and inviting guest speakers.
