Three Metrics to Explore the Openness of GitHub projects ∗
"... Open source software projects evolve thanks to a group of volunteers that help in their development. Thus, the success of these projects depends on their ability to attract (and keep) developers. We believe the openness of a project, i.e., how easy is for a new user to actively contribute to it, can ..."

of the project. We have adapted and applied these metrics to a subset of GitHub projects, thus giving some practical findings on their openness.
Quality and Productivity Outcomes Relating to Continuous Integration in GitHub
"... Software processes comprise many steps; coding is followed by building, integration testing, system testing, deployment, operations, among others. Software process integration and automation have been areas of key concern in software engi-neering, ever since the pioneering work of Osterweil; market ..."

In this paper we use large, historical data on process metrics and outcomes in GitHub projects to discern the effects of one specific innovation in process automation: continuous integration. Our main find-ing is that continuous integration improves the productivity of project teams, who
Got Issues? Who Cares About It? A Large Scale Investigation of Issue Trackers from GitHub
"... Abstract—Feedback from software users constitutes a vital part in the evolution of software projects. By filing issue reports, users help identify and fix bugs, document software code, and enhance the software via feature requests. Many studies have explored issue reports, proposed approaches to ena ..."

Exploring the Use of Labels to Categorize Issues in Open-Source Software Projects
"... Abstract-Reporting bugs, asking for new features and in general giving any kind of feedback is a common way to contribute to an Open-Source Software (OSS) project. This feedback is generally reported in the form of new issues for the project, managed by the so-called issue-trackers. One of the feat ..."

Our preliminary results reveal that, even if the label mechanism is scarcely used, using labels favors the resolution of issues. Our analysis also

Contributing to this lack of advancement has been the incidence of inappropriate or nonoptimal application of various model-buildi ..."

Open Access AXIOME: automated exploration of microbial diversity
"... Background: Although high-throughput sequencing of small subunit rRNA genes has revolutionized our understanding of microbial ecosystems, these technologies generate data at depths that benefit from automated analysis. Here we present AXIOME (Automation, eXtension, and Integration Of Microbial Ecolo ..."

VCCFinder: Finding Potential Vulnerabilities in Open-Source Projects to Assist Code Audits
"... Despite the security community’s best effort, the number of serious vulnerabilities discovered in software is increasing rapidly. In theory, security audits should find and remove the vulnerabilities before the code ever gets deployed. How-ever, due to the enormous amount of code being produced, as ..."

First, we conducted the first large-scale mapping of CVEs to GitHub commits in order to create a vulnerable commit database. Second
Social Forking in Open Source Software: An Empirical Study
"... Abstract. Forking is the creation of a new software project by making a copy of artefacts from another project. Forking is gaining traction in industry because of the maturity of distributed version control systems and the abundance of open source software (OSS) and hosting platforms that support fo ..."

Visualizing Collaboration and Influence in the Open-Source Software Community
