About

FLOSSmole aims to:

  • freely provide data about open source projects in multiple formats for anyone to download
  • integrate donated data from other research teams
  • provide some tools so that you can gather your own data
  • provide a community for researchers to discuss public data about open source software development

FLOSSmole contains:

  • 300 GB of data covering the period 2004-now, and growing
  • data sets from over 200 web spidering operations, and growing each month
  • data about more than 200,000 different open source projects and their developers

February 2010 Data Released

Lots of new data for you to peruse out on our FLOSSmole Data Downloads Page.

Here's what's out there, recently added:

Google Code, March 2010 (GC) - list of all GC projects donated by Audris Mockus (HUGE THANK YOU TO AUDRIS FOR THIS!!)
Freshmeat, February 2010 (FM)
Objectweb, February 2010 (OW)
Rubyforge, February 2010 (RF)
Github, February 2010 (GH)
Free Software Foundation, February 2010 (FSF)
Savannah, February 2010 (SV)
and Sourceforge from December 2009 (SF)

We have another set of bugs to fix with Sourceforge collection this year, 2010, but those are forthcoming. I'm running a collection now. Hopefully the data will be good. We may even have stats this time. Hallelujah.

Also, thanks to my phenomenal undergraduate superstar Steven Norris, Tigris is coming soon!! and Debian after that. We are rocking the repository collection...

December Sourceforge Data released

After long delay, the December Sourceforge data has been released. You may recall that over summer 2009, SF redesigned their web site which broke many of our crawlers and all of our parsers.

We have re-written these, and with only a few exceptions, have pretty much the same data as we always had.

Here are some release notes:

1. The Datasource_id=206
2. Donors data is not available in the Dec 2009 release. Donors were moved to their own page, so we have to add this to the collection for next time.
3. Statistics data is not available in the Dec 2009 release. We accidentally collected the wrong stats pages, so we had to throw these out and re-write for next time.
4. Status data (alpha, beta, mature, etc) is not available in the Dec 2009 release. This information is still being collected and kept by SF, but we can't find where it's being reported on their web site. If you have any ideas, send them to the mailing list (ossmole-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net).

Files are located at our Google Code page: http://code.google.com/p/flossmole/downloads/list

For those of you with database access on the sdsc server, I'll get these files over there ASAP.

December 2009 data released

Enjoy!
