The PNG(graphic) files below display to current database schema for FLOSSmole. You can also find all PNG files and the MWB(MySQL Workbench) file in the zipped file below.
Each of the files below displays a different section in the database. Since there is a large amount of information in the database, this will allow users to be able to look at one of these files and quickly determine if that section in the database interests the user.

Today my new research assistant Gavan & I are performing some maintenance tasks on the database, including a reorganization of the places where the data tables live. Hopefully this will mean that the data is much better organized.
Here is the github summary of what we are doing, and a brief summary below.
We will leave old copies of the most popular tables for a few days, in order to give everyone time to rework scripts, etc.

Back in the 2000's, the GNU Enterprise (GNUe) project chat logs (and human-created chat log summaries!) were used by several papers in the area of text summarization, especially dialogue summarization.
The reason the GNUe chat logs and summaries were used is that the logs were accompanied by summaries that were compiled periodically (manually) by a human. The summarized chat logs can thus be considered a kind of "gold standard" for what kind of summary a machine summarizer should produce.

A pastebin is a web site where developers can paste in some code, get back a URL, and then share that with others. The usage of pastebins is handy for IRC chat or in email, when a lot of source code will look ugly or be unformatted. However, the pastebin URLs disappear over time and this presents a problem for those of us who collect old data, or want to study the software evolution.

Hi moles! New IRC chat logs now cleaned and stored in the irc database on the FLOSSmole mysql server, thanks to Andrea Black, one of our intrepid FLOSSmole research assistants. This data is part of an overall IRC collection started by another student, Becca Gazda, last summer.
We now have the following IRC chat histories available:
Apache
--activemq
--aries
--camel
--cxf
--kalumet
--karaf
--servicemix

I'm presenting today at All Things Open in Raleigh on Why and How Researchers are Studying Open Source. My goal is to show a wide variety of papers (not necessarily the "best" or most oft-cited papers, but a variety of techniques and motivations) in order to give developers a high-level idea of what kind of research is happening with the open source artifacts that they create.

In my continuing quest to be organized, I've created a new schema to hold just the IRC log data. On the database server (access instructions here), there is a new schema called 'irc' and it includes (for now) Ubuntu logs, Django logs, 7 Apache projects, and the topic lines from Freenode for all channels with 3+ users.
Coming soon: email updates, including Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) and more IRC (Wordpress, etc).
Enjoy!

Freecode (formerly Freshmeat), the directory of Free and Open Source Software Projects, is no longer accepting new submissions. As of June 18, their site has this message on top:
The last full scrape of the Freecode RDF files took place in March. The data for the March 2014 Freecode collection is available for download from the FLOSSmole FC data site (or in the MySQL database).
RIP Freecode, nee Freshmeat.
