Exploring Socio-Technical Activities of ASFI Projects
summary
A web dashboard called ASFI Project Explorer visualizes monthly social (email reply) and technical (developer → file-extension commits) networks for 207 ASF Incubator projects, links to project reports, emails and commits, and exposes a trained model that forecasts graduation versus retirement. The model uses sociotechnical network features and basic project metrics and achieves 90%+ F1 with eight months of data while a metrics-only model performs much worse. Interactive drilldowns surface specific emails, files, and developer interactions.
