[Release Frequency][6] – How often does a project publish a release of their software / artifact?
[Event Location Inclusivity][7] – Is the event located in a region where governments, cultural contexts, or society may cause harm to the physical safety and/or psychological safety of event attendees?
[Public Health and Safety][8] – To what extent does your event address public health through policies around masks, vaccines, COVID testing, and in infrastructure such as ventilation and air purification in indoor venues?
[Newcomer Experience][9] – How well does an open source community attend to welcoming newcomers? We have a variety of other metrics we are preparing to release, including:
Project Access – To what extent does your project provide access and help those with various access needs?
Communication Transparency – How transparent is project communication?
