Impact of AB funding
Drives Interest & User Adoption & Contributions
Average monthly web visits grew by 30%
Social Media following grew by 47%
Commits & unique Authors per month across PVOPS (Xen Project files only) Hypervisor XAPI Mirage OS
Skewed because different sub-projects use different average size commits
http://bitergia.com/projects/xen-project-dashboard/browser/ – use with care – still some issues
Xen-‐devel : Messages per Month Contributors / Authors per Month
Commits per Month
Authors and traffic list are increasing On “commits”: feedback from maintainers suggests a review bottleneck
Ohloh.net and xen.markmail.org

Have no way to measure patches under review
The monthly average doubled
Don’t want to split the community by introducing new lists
Europe – US – location switch not working (9 months – 15 months – 9 months – …)
Dividing the summit into developer – user summit?
Feel free to raise everything that isn’t working there
Vacancies and skills Number of open vacancies is increasing Perception: Xen Project requires special skills vs. Linux
Translating media momentum into new users Ease of use Onboarding and documentation Better distro integration
Independently Hosted Test Infrastructure Suppliers sourced Budget proposal in place Can start executing
Messaging and Positioning Advisory Board has been working on key messages and positioning
First Analyst Meeting In September (or maybe aligned with a large event)
