The LibreOffice project has become a large software development project. To better understand how it is being developed, a software development analytics dashboard has been deployed for it. This dashboard tracks most of the public data about LibreOffice development, and it allows to visualize, drill down and understand that data. The talk will present this dashboard, and will explain how to interpret the data it provides.
The Document Foundation Development Dashboard visualizes data obtained from some systems used to support LibreOffice development: git, Gerrit, Bugzilla... The data is retrieved from them, stored, organized an massaged in a database, and later visualized in the dashboard. The dashboard permits to track activity (in commits, issues, pull requests, questions and answers, etc.), actors (who is creating the code, who is fixing bugs, who is answering questions), and processes (hot long does it take to close issues, or to accept pull requests).
The Document Foundation Development Dashboard has been deployed using GriomoireLab, an complete FOSS system for retrieving data from software development repositories, storing it, and producing different kinds of analytics, dashboards and reports.
