CHAOSS is back!

We have officially returned from our end-of-year break, and we are so happy to be getting back in the swing of things. We also want to welcome the newcomers who popped in Slack over our break. We are glad you’re here! For anyone new or who may have stepped away from CHAOSS for a while, here are some reminders about how you can connect with us:

Virtual meetings happen all the time here, and they’re all resuming this week. There’s a list below, but also you can see the full calendar on our [Participate Page][1]. Our meetings are recorded and posted to our [CHAOSStube Youtube Channel][2], if you want to see what one of our meetings is like.
We have a [Slack channel][3] that we’d love for you to join.
Our [mailing list][4] is low-traffic, but active.
You can also connect and keep up to date via [Twitter.][5]
Our Chinese Community is very large and active, and you can find specific details on participating on our [Participate Page][1].

Looking forward to connecting with you![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

CHAOSS App Ecosystem Releases Updated Metrics for Event Organizers

On the CHAOSS blog, Georg Link shares progress from the work of our App Ecosystem Working Group with regard to metrics for event organizers. In the post, he outlines the 4 goals that event organizers have with events, and how individual metrics can be used to measure progress in support of these goals:

Goal 1: Retaining and Attracting Contributors
Goal 2: Have Engaging Events
Goal 3: Understanding Company Contributions to Event
Goal 4: Ensure Events Contribute Towards Diversity and Skill Gaps in the Community

You can read the [full blog post here][9], along with a link to the [slide deck][10] describing these metrics in greater detail.
