We've been collecting Rubyforge data almost since the beginning. Last month we reported on the decline of Rubyforge in light of newer forges, like Github. Here's the chart we drew:
Now we've got this lovely pair of images to contend with:

Many of you know that we provide flat files of our data for download by anyone at any time. Until recently we had hosted these on Google Code (before 2009 or so, we hosted them on Sourceforge). Recently, Google Code announced that projects will not be able to have file downloads as of January 2014. So we had to find a new home for our files.

Hi moles! I've got two new datasets for you to play with. These aren't perfect, but they're a start of a new type of dataset for FLOSSmole!
(1) Apache Roles: This dataset stores information about people affiliated with all the subprojects of the Apache Software Foundation, their roles, and what project they're working on with that role. Data sources include: Apache web site pages, board meeting minutes, etc. (Pre-Print on FLOSShub describing collection, curation, storage, sample queries)

Hello moles! I have completed the move of all our data from the Teragrid over to FLOSSdata and it is ready to go.
There are some new things to know:
1. New schemas for 'old', 'sf' and 'udd' data. You're used to seeing those in the 'ossmole_merged' schema, but they've been moved out into their own schemas.
2. Reminder that the 'sf' data is quite old and we recommend that you use SRDA instead.
3. There are some new tables coming for Apache data. More information on these will be forthcoming.

Hi moles,
This message is for those of you who are actively using direct database access on the MySQL server at Teragrid/SDSC.
Our direct access database is being moved off Teragrid at SDSC and onto our own servers at flossdata.syr.edu.
To accomplish this move, I'm going to need to re-create our active user accounts on MySQL.
(This is a good opportunity to clean house anyway since there were a number of user accounts on there for people who have moved on or are no longer active.)

The datasource ID is 350, and we've got a fresh run of Google Code project names, thanks to Audris. Also the People collector is fixed up now, so we're getting both the userid and the user name if available. So note the new column in the people table.

The November 2012 data has been released to Google Code. Go get it!
Note: we are in the process of copying from the Teragrid, so we will not be putting any more data up there for the time being. More details on direct database access will be forthcoming.

Huge thank you to our former student and flossmole alumnus Christian Funkhouser for working on re-writing the Launchpad collector to use the API.
Get the code!
The datasource_id for Launchpad in September is 342!
