While there are many ways that projects can define and measure what health means to their communities, this talk will focus on maintainers as they serve critical roles in the development, leadership and governance of their projects. As burnout continues to be a growing issue across roles, industries and communities, losing maintainers within small communities can have significant impact on the sustainability of that project. This talk will discuss methods and metrics that could signal overloaded and overworked maintainers. While metrics alone cannot fix this problem, they may help to identify potential issues so your community can adjust before it's too late.
