Crunching the numbers: Open Source Community Metrics at OSCONDawn Foster
Co-presented with Dave Neary at OSCON 2011.
Every community manager knows that community metrics are important, but how do you come up with a plan and figure out what you want to measure? Most community managers have their own set of hacky scripts for extracting data from various sources after they decide what metrics to track. There is no standardised Community Software Dashboard you can use to generate near-real-time stats on your community growth.
Like most open source projects, we have diverse community infrastructure for MeeGo, including Mailman, Drupal, Mediawiki, IRC, git, OpenSuse Build Service, Transifex and vBulletin. We wanted to unify these sources together, extract meaningful statistics from the data we had available to us, and present it to the user in a way that made it easy to see if the community was developing nicely or not.
Building on the work of Pentaho, Talend, MLStats, gitdm and a host of others, we built a generic and open source community dashboard for the MeeGo project, and integrated it into the website. The project was run in the open at http://wiki.meego.com/Metrics/Dashboard and all products of the project are available for reuse.
This presentation will cover the various metrics we wanted to measure, how we extracted the data from a diverse set of services to do it, and more importantly, how you can do it too.

4. A NEW PARADIGM FOR GAMES AS A SERVICE
The Games as a Service era is marked by the rise of digital games and
content services. Games are treated as services that include new
downloadable content, micropayments, virtual goods, and more.
Game companies’ approach to Games as a Service tends to be purely
transactional (monetization-centric), focusing on selling additional digital
content to users, clamping down on piracy, and iterating on metrics to
squeeze more revenue out of each user.
Raptr believes that this is an incomplete definition of what is changing in
games and a flawed approach. Raptr believes that the real shift is from
commodity to community and that the real focus should be on the
lifecycle of the player.
A new approach, one that is relational and community-centric, is
required to cultivate a framework that is both beneficial to the player and
the business.
We call this new paradigm “Community as a Service”
4
5. COMMUNITY AS A SERVICE
• A game’s launch is not the end, but rather the beginning of an opportunity
to establish a real, trusted relationship with the players and player
communities
• Activities that serve the player lifecycle generally fall into three main areas
– Tools that enable players to create content using the game
– Content and activities to keep users engaged with the game even
when they aren’t playing
– Identifying and rewarding loyal players
• Community as a Service also addresses building and serving robust
player communities
– Power of communities dedicated to games
– Power of communities across games
– The power of a community platform
5
6. THE IMPACT OF COMMUNITY AS A SERVICE:
WE POSED THE QUESTIONS
• Raptr set out to determine whether community initiatives were actually
beneficial to both the player and the game maker with respect to:
– New user acquisition
– Deeper engagement
– Retention
• What impact do community activities have on daily active usage?
– How well do these activities retain daily active users over time?
– Is there a difference in the level of engagement?
• Do community activities help attract new users & bring back lapsed players?
• We used Raptr’s data from Portal 2, ARMA II, League of Legends, Blacklight:
Retribution, and Lost Saga to illustrate the impact of community activities
6
8. TOOLS THAT ENABLE USERS TO CREATE CONTENT USING
THE GAME
• Community-created content includes tools that enable users to:
• Create new content such as maps, items, mods, and more and
share it with the community
• Capture in-game screenshots and videos for the community to see
• Stream live video
• Spectator mode

14. USER-GENERATED CONTENT CONCLUSIONS
• Valve’s approach to Community as a Service was to give gamers tools to
create their own Portal 2 maps and share them with each other

game for existing players, the actual impact was far greater:
• 23x increase in new user acquisitions
• 11x increase in bringing back players who had lapsed
• 36% increase in average playtime per user by 36% from 1.4 to 1.9

20. KEEPING USERS ENGAGED EVEN WHEN THEY
AREN’T PLAYING
• Community engagement activities and tools that encourage content
consumption and discussion when gamers aren’t playing can drive
gamers back to a game to play more, and they can help new players
discover a game. For example:
• Systems to surface the best content (screenshots, videos, live
streams)
• Enabling developers to be part of the conversation with the
community rather than above it
• eSports events to drive water-cooler talk and aspirational behavior
20

time
• Riot has taken a community services approach from
