Google Code is our longest data collection effort each month. We've collected everything for November and posted it for your data mining pleasure. Get the files or access it on the Teragrid with direct database access (datasource_id=285).

Three things happened recently to affect our Freshmeat collection
1. Freshmeat announced a name change to Freecode.
2. We have an issue (issue #43) that talks about how the trove definitions for Freshmeat are out of date.
3. Freshmeat replaced trove with tagging and we missed the memo
What I've done is as follows:
For issue #1 - decided not to rename our abbreviation for Freshmeat. It will remain "FM".

One of the papers at the 2011 OSS conference is entitled "Building Knowledge in Open Source Software Research in Six Years of Conferences". It surveys the contributions of papers presented at the OSS conferences, and builds social networks of the papers, identifying research streams along the way.
Findings particular to FLOSSmole:
"Cluster #82. The largest cluster originates from node #82. Paper #82 introduces the OSSmole project (later called FLOSSmole). OSSmole is a repository of data, scripts, and analysis of data collected from OSS projects."

1. Free Software Foundation directory changed their layout to a wiki so we're re-writing our collector to parse RDF instead. This will change the tables we use for FSF data now.
2. We were able to convince our dear colleague Audris Mockus to run his Google Code collector and gather the latest list of project names for us. SWEET! This means a Google Code run is imminent.
3. UDD and Debian still need to be re-run, and automated.
