[00:02:08] Alice asks Dawn to explain the newly launched Practitioner Guide series by CHAOSS. Dawn elaborates on the Practitioner Guides, addressing the community's struggle with data interpretation and the initiative to provide guidance on metric usage for project improvements. [00:05:02] Luis comments on the utility of the Practitioner Guides, emphasizing the need to focus on goals over metrics to avoid data overload. [00:05:54] Dawn mentions the feedback received on the guides, particularly from Luis and others in various OSPO working groups. [00:07:11] The discussion shifts to the Guide on Responsiveness, with Dawn identifying key metrics like time to first response, time to close, and change request closure ratio. [00:08:37] Luis shares the significance of responsiveness metrics in community growth and ensuring fair treatment across organizational contributors. [00:09:54] Dawn details how the guides suggest making improvements, noting the importance of understanding context, such as seasonal variations or event-related disruptions, in evaluating responsiveness. [00:11:01] We hear some practical tips from Dawn on improving responsiveness, like using templates for contributions to reduce maintainers' review times and discussing time allocation with maintainers to offload non-critical tasks. [00:13:47] Luis emphasizes that metrics highlight things that are happening but require deeper investigation to understand the underlying issues. [00:15:05] Dawn discusses strategies to improve project responsiveness, such as recruiting more maintainers and contributors. She warns against simply pressuring existing maintainers to increase responsiveness, which can lead to burnout and does not address the root cause of delays. [00:17:33] Luis shares experiences from conversations with managers about the pressures of responding to community needs. He warns against using metrics to measure productivity, as it can lead people to manipulate their behavior to look good on metrics rather than genuinely improving their work. Also, he tells us about a book he read that he liked called, “The Tyranny of Metrics.” [00:19:42] Luis explains the critical role of responsiveness on onboarding and retaining new community members, emphasizing the importance of prompt feedback to make newcomers feel valued. [00:20:26] Dawn stresses the impact of responsiveness on new contributors, noting that delays or lack of feedback can permanently discourage them from participating in the project. [00:21:38] Dawn advises patience and persistence in improving responsiveness, emphasizing that it is a long-term effort. [00:22:50] Alice inquires about the future directions for the Practitioner Guides series, and Dawn reveals plans for additional guides on topics like software development practices and community activity and encourages community involvement in creating new guidelines. She discusses possibilities for customizing guides for specific organizational needs, such as what Comcast has done. [00:26:32] Luis suggests exploring educational courses or short video series to help newcomers understand and use metrics effectively in open source projects, emphasizing the long-term value of documentation in retaining knowledge. [00:27:38] Dawn details ways listeners can engage with the CHAOSS community. Value Adds (Picks) of the week: * [00:29:06] Luis's pick is having the opportunity to collaborate with the Mozilla Foundation again since they were involved in the creation of the “Mozilla and the Rebel Alliance” report years ago. * [00:29:54] Dawn's pick is The Practitioner Guides. * [00:31:06] Alice's pick is coffee ice cream.

In this episode we discuss The Mind and the Market: Capitalism in Western Thought  by Jerry Z. Muller. Next time we'll discuss Beauty: A Very Short Introduction by Roger Scrutton.

In the conversation with Vilius Kubekas, Jerry Z. Muller discusses the life of German Jewish intellectual Jacob Taubes. In his newest book Professor of Apocalypse: The Many Lives of Jacob Taubes (Princeton University Press, 2022), Muller develops an in-depth interpretation of Taubes, the person and the intellectual, uncovering the extensive intellectual networks Taubes contributed to, and clarifying his role as a facilitator of ideas across different national and intellectual milieus. The book offers a close examination of European intellectual life during the 20th century with a particular focus on German and Jewish intellectuals.

In this episode we discuss By the People by Charles Murray. Next time we'll discuss The Mind and the Market by Jerry Z. Muller

Jacob Taubes beskrivs som en demonisk och bedräglig figur, men också som en mäktig intellektuell inspiratör. Mattias Hagberg berättar om hur hans tolkning av Romarbrevet påverkade idéhistorien. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Först flera år efteråt skulle betydelsen av de där fyra dagarna i februari 1987 stå klar för dem som deltagit. Då hade föreläsningarna sammanställts till en bok med en ovanligt kraftfull verkningshistoria. Men än så länge har ingenting av det där hänt. Än så länge är det bara februari 1987 i ett seminarierum på universitetet i Heidelberg, och en ensam röst, sprucken av sjukdom och ålderdom, som försöker sammanfatta ett helt liv i dialog med Paulus brev till romarna. Mannen, som är döende i cancer och som heter Jacob Taubes, är på samma gång en intellektuell gigant som en tämligen okänd religionsfilosof och rabbin. Han har knappt publicerat någonting under sina fyrtio år som akademiker, än mindre lagt fram någon banbrytande teori eller några nya rön. Trots det omges han av en ovanlig air, av en sorts aura som varit svår för eftervärlden att greppa och beskriva, men som på något sätt gjorde honom till ett intellektuellt kraftcentrum, en punkt mot vilken många av hans samtida, med eller mot sin vilja, graviterade. Han befann sig under femtio-, sextio- och sjuttiotalen hela tiden mitt i idédebatten. Listan över hans vänner och samtalspartners är en ovanligt omfattande provkarta över efterkrigstidens intellektuella värld. Alla verkar finnas med, från Carl Smith till Herbert Marcuse. I ett par av Susan Sontags mer fiktiva verk återfinns han som en diabolisk professor, en Mefistofeles som förlöser andra människors tankemässiga förmågor, men till ett mycket högt pris. Redan som mycket ung doktorand, innan han flyttade från Schweiz till USA och sedan vidare till Jerusalem och Berlin, hade han rykte om sig att vara något av ett demoniskt geni, en person som ofta kom i konflikt, som utnyttjade andra, som ljög och bedrog, ja, kanske till och med fuskade sig fram genom det akademiska livet, men som också hade en otrolig förmåga att tänka nytt och att hjälpa andra framåt i sina intellektuella processer.Men nu, i februari 1987 i Heidelberg, är allt detta historia. Av Jacob Taubes liv återstår nästan ingenting, han är sjuk och svag. Mellan den tredje och fjärde föreläsningsdagen vårdas han på intensivavdelningen på Heidelbergs lasarett. Några veckor senare är han död. Och ändå är det på sätt och vis först nu det börjar; Jacob Taubes talar, bandspelaren rullar, hans intellektuella testamente tar form i stunden.Han säger att han har kommit till Paulus brev, inte som professor i religionsfilosofi, utan som jude och som rabbin, och han understryker att den han mött i breven varken är ett katolskt helgon eller en protestantisk teolog, utan en radikal judisk mystiker. För honom var Paulus först som sist en apokalyptisk och gnostisk tänkare som ville krossa alla invanda föreställningar om världen. Jacob Taubes läste Paulus brev till romarna som ett politiskt traktat, ja, mer än så, för honom var Romarbrevet västerlandets revolutionära text par preference, en urkund omöjlig att förbise om man vill förstå den europeiska värld som växte fram ur judendom och kristendom. Allt som senare ska spelas ut i form av allt från messianism till revolutionär socialism finns redan inskrivet här; framför allt föreställningen om att den rådande ordningen går att överskrida och ersätta med något helt nytt, något som ännu inte går att föreställa sig.Drömmen om en annan värld, om ett annat liv, börjar enligt Jacob Taubes med Paulus brev till romarna.Det är denna vändning, från det rent teologiska till det politiska, som inom några år, när föreläsningarna samlats till en bok med titeln Die Politische Theologie des Paulus, ska skicka en elektrisk stöt genom delar av den akademiska världen och delar av den europeiska vänstern, en stöt som väcker Paulus till liv för nya läsningar och nya tolkningar. Det är i Jacob Taubes efterföljd som Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou och Slavoj Zizek söker sig till Paulus för att förstå vår värld.Ja, efter de där dagarna i Heidelberg i februari 1987 går det inte att läsa Paulus på samma sätt längre.Själv hittade Jacob Taubes till Paulus redan på fyrtiotalet, i de sena tonåren när han börjat studera till rabbin i Zürich. Den amerikanske historikern Jerry Muller, som skrivit en stor biografi över Jacob Taubes, beskriver relationen till Paulus som en livslång identifikation. Kanske, spekulerar Jerry Muller, handlade det om ett personlighetsdrag; Jacob Taubes var en man som oavbrutet bröt mot sociala konventioner och tabun, en ohämmad regelbrytare. Men förmodligen handlade det lika mycket om tidsandan, om de historiska betingelserna. Jacob Taubes hade på nära håll sett hur den tyska protestantiska teologin blev ett redskap för nazismen, och hur den liberala teologin lagt sig platt för kapitalismen.För honom fanns det varken något protestantiskt eller liberalt över Paulus. Tvärtom. För Jacob Taubes var Paulus en revolutionär i ordets mest grundläggande betydelse. Paulus största önskan var att överskrida nuet och kliva in i framtidens rike. Ja, mer än så, Jacob Taubes menade att Paulus deklarerade krig mot Rom. Med en antikolonial gest av kosmiska proportioner vände han upp och ner på alla samtidens hierarkier: de första skulle bli de sista, de sista skulle bli de första hur många tusen legionärer kejsaren än hade till sitt förfogande. Mot kejsaren och hans väldiga våldsmonopol satte Paulus ett nytt folk redo att utmana all form av innevarande ordning: Nu är ingen längre jude eller grek, slav eller fri, man eller kvinna. Alla är ni ett i Kristus Jesus.Ja, kanske är det här, i bilden av Paulus som en judisk förkunnare som överskrider den antika idén om identitet och därmed konstituerar ett helt nytt historiskt subjekt, som Jacob Taubes är som mest intressant. Han pekar på hur Paulus går från att bara vara en judisk mystiker med messianska böjelser till att bli en politisk ledare med en helt ny värld i sikte.För den som vill är det lätt att dra paralleller till den tidiga arbetarrörelsen när begreppet klass kom att ersätta föreställningen om folket, och därmed skapa en motpart till kapitalet. Mellan Karl Marx och Paulus finns en stark affinitet. I båda fallen gällde det om att tänka historien och dess drivkrafter på nytt.Men kanske är det ännu lättare att dra en linje från Paulus till de antikoloniala rörelserna under nittonhundratalet. Även då handlade kampen till stor del om att skapa nya identiteter som kunde samla människor mot den imperialistiska övermakten och dess fokus på splittring. Varför inte kalla Paulus för en antik Mahatma Gandhi.Ja, med Jacob Taubes hjälp blir det tydligt att Paulus politiska teologi är ett revolutionärt och antikolonialt vrål genom historien, ett vrål som ekat genom århundradena: Det går att tänka mot strömmen. En annan värld är möjlig!Mattias Hagberg, författare  LitteraturGiorgio Agamben, The Time Thar Remains A Commontary on the Letter to the Romans (Stanford University Press 2005).Alain Badiou, Saint Paul The Foundation of Universalism (Stanford University Press 2003).Jerry Z.

Genius or Charlatan? This is the story of Jacob Taubes, the controversial Jewish thinker whose tortured path led him into the heart of twentieth-century intellectual life Scion of a distinguished line of Talmudic scholars, Jacob Taubes (1923–1987) was an intellectual impresario whose inner restlessness led him from prewar Vienna to Zurich, Israel, and Cold War Berlin. Regarded by some as a genius, by others as a charlatan, Taubes moved among yeshivas, monasteries, and leading academic institutions on three continents. He wandered between Judaism and Christianity, left and right, piety and transgression. Along the way, he interacted with many of the leading minds of the age, from Leo Strauss and Gershom Scholem to Herbert Marcuse, Susan Sontag, and Carl Schmitt. Professor of Apocalypse is the definitive biography of this enigmatic figure and a vibrant mosaic of twentieth-century intellectual life. Taubes's personal tensions mirrored broader conflicts between tradition and radicalism, and religion and politics. Jerry Muller traces Taubes's emergence as a prominent interpreter of the Apostle Paul, and how his journey led him from a radical Hasidic sect in Jerusalem to the center of academic debates over Gnosticism, secularization, and the revolutionary potential of apocalypticism. Professor of Apocalypse: The Many Lives of Jacob Taubes (Princeton UP, 2022) offers an unforgettable account of an electrifying world of ideas, focused on a charismatic personality who thrived on controversy and conflict.

In dieser Episode ist wieder Dr. Lukas Lang zu Gast. Wir sprechen über Data Science und Machine Learninig (auch »artificial intelligence« genannt). Das ist ein Themenbereich, der sehr viel Potential für unsere Zukunft hat, aber wie alle diese Themenbereiche auch eine Menge an Gefahren, Herausforderungen und Hypes generiert. Lukas ist ein perfekter Gesprächspartner für dieses Thema, weil er sowohl in der Spitzenforschung tätig war als auch in der industriellen Praxis mit diesen Themen beschäftigt ist. Diese Mischung scheint mir bei komplexen technischen Fragestellungen und Problemen sehr nützlich zu sein. Lukas hat nach seinem Studium der Informatik eine Promotion im Spezialgebiet Computational Science gemacht. Anschließend war er mehrere Jahre in der universitären Forschung im Bereich der mathematischen Bild- und Datenanalyse tätig, zuletzt an der Universität Cambridge. Seine Arbeit hat Anwendungen in der medizinischen Bildgebung, in der Molekular- und Zellbiologie, und in der Computer Vision. Derzeit leitet er den Geschäftsbereich »Data Science and AI« eines Spin-Offs des internationalen Industriekonzerns Voestalpine. Sein Team arbeitet an der Umsetzung von Daten-Projekten in der Erzeugung und Verarbeitung von Spezialmetallen, und am Aufbau eines globalen Data Science Programms für die Produktionsstandorte. Wir haben dieses umfangreiche Thema in zwei Episoden aufgeteilt: In der ersten Episode beginnen wir das Thema Data Science einzuführen, auch anhand einiger Beispiele, beginnend mit historischen Beispielen sowie Anwendungsfällen der heutigen Zeit. Wir spannen dabei den Bogen von Tycho Brahe und Florence Nightingale bis zu modernen Sprachassistenten und Entscheidungsunterstützung im Militär und zivilen Bereich. Dann gibt Lukas einen Überblick über wesentliche Prinzipien und Begriffe, die in diesem Zusammenhang immer wieder auftreten, wie Datascience, die Rolle der klassischen Statistik, Modellierung, Visualisierung, EDA, AI, KI, machine learning, multivariate statistik, Datenqualität und vieles mehr.  Wir sprechen dann über die These die seit einiger Zeit im Raum steht, dass man dank Daten und »AI« ja keine Modelle, keine Theorie mehr benötigt — The End of Theory —, sondern einfach aus Daten lernt und das wäre hinreichend für die wissenschaftliche Betrachtung der Welt. Wir diskutieren dann Möglichkeiten, Geschäftsmodelle und Grenzen von Machine Learning und Data Science. Wer trifft heute überhaupt Entscheidungen und was ist die Rolle und Funktion eines Data Scientists? Sollten Menschen immer das letzt Wort bei wesentlichen Entscheidungen haben? Ist das überhaupt (noch) realistisch? Welche Rolle spielen regulatorische Maßnahmen wie das aktuelle EU-Framework? In der zweiten Episode werden wir darauf aufbauend die Frage stellen, wie viel der aktuellen Behauptungen in diesem Feld Realität und wie viel Hype ist. Was können wir in der Zukunft zu erwarten — sowohl im positiven wie auch im negativen? Was sind dominierende Forschungsfragen und wo Grenzen liegen, unerwartete Effekte auftreten, und welche ethischen Fragen durch diese neuen Möglichkeiten zu diskutieren. xkcd Cartoon Konkret gibt es das Spannungsfeld zwischen Datensparsamkeit und der Idee alles zu sammeln, weil wir das irgendwie in der Zukunft für uns nutzen können. Aber will der Data Scientists überhaupt in Daten untergehen? Führen mehr Daten zu besseren Entscheidungen? Wir diskutieren wieder anhand konkreter Beispiele für gute und problematische Anwendungen wie predictiver Policing, Mapping und »KI« für militärische Dronenpiloten. Welche individuelle Verantwortung leiten wir daraus für Techniker ab? Wie geht Lukas selbst mit diesen Herausforderungen um?  Referenzen Lukas Lang Persönliche Webseite von Lukas Andere Episoden Episode 40: Software Nachhaltigkeit, ein Gespräch mit Philipp Reisinger Episode 37: Probleme und Lösungen Episode 32: Überleben in der Datenflut – oder: warum das Buch wichtiger ist als je zuvor Episode 31: Software in der modernen Gesellschaft – Gespräch mit Tom Konrad Episode 25:Entscheiden unter Unsicherheit Episode 19: Offene Systeme – Teil 1 und Episode 20, Teil 2 Episode 6: Messen, was messbar ist?

Panelists Georg Link | Andrea Gallo Guest Luis Cañas-Díaz (https://podcast.chaoss.community/guests/luis-canas-diaz) Sponsor SustainOSS (https://sustainoss.org/) Show Notes [00:02:20] Luis tells us all about himself, what he’s doing now, and how things evolved for him to get to this point. [00:06:25] Andrea wonders when Luis started the company if he followed those kind of management books of starting the company for dummies where first you need a mission or vision. [00:08:20] Andrea said some people say that maybe data is the new oil, or maybe it’s the way you use the data, or the metrics can be the new oil, and Luis responds. [00:11:22] Georg talks about starting CHAOSS three years ago, and how happy he was that Bitergia was one of the Co-Founders bringing in all of this experience. He also tells us about a new thing on the CHAOSS website under “Initiatives” where you can find community reports on the some of the metrics they have been defining. Luis talks about this report too. [00:13:58] Andrea wonders how many metrics Luis has available and if he has any common ones he recommends starting with. Georg wonders how does Luis identify contributors in open source and their organizational affiliation? [00:16:50] With Luis’s long history of working with metrics and users of open source metrics, Georg wonders if there are any do’s and don’ts or anything that he would take away from this experience and say to someone who is doing this work that here are some pitfalls that you need to be aware of. [00:19:28] Andrea talks about one of his favorite metrics, which is the geography one, Luis’s is the elephant factor, and Georg talks about the elephant factor. [00:23:45] Georg tells us why he enjoys the diversity and inclusion metrics and the value metrics, and why they are so important to him. [00:26:29] Luis tells us if he has a metric that is the most controversial or the most difficult to use. [00:29:04] Find out where you can learn more about Luis’s work and where you can find him online.

Managing practices of today are still deeply rooted in the industrial era. But there is a new way emerging called: regenerative management. Our guest, Kim Korn (in collaboration with our other guest Joe Pine) are on the mission to make this new way become the new standard for managing organizations. Kim shares with us the foundational ideas for regenerative managing practices that aim to help your organization grow rather than just stay focused on self-optimization. LINKSKim's website“Handbook of Self-Determination Research” by Edward Deci and Richard Ryan“Man’s search of meaning” by Victor Frankl“Radical management” by Stephen Denning“In search of excellence” by Thomas Peters and Robert Waterman Jr.“Good to Great” by Jim Collins“Infinite possibility” by Joe Pine and Kim Korn“Freedom Inc” by Brian Carney“The Tyranny of Metrics” by Jerry Z.

Panelists Matt Broberg | Venia Logan | Sean Goggins | Georg Link Guests Ray Paik Manrique Lopez Valerio Cosentino Sponsor Linode (https://www.linode.com/) Show Notes [00:02:33] We start here with learning about what measurement tools exist in the CHAOSS project. [00:07:06] Georg gives us some context on how Bitergia, GrimoireLab, Bitergia Analytics, and CHAOSS all relate to each other. [00:09:01] Manrique fills us in on why Open Source is relevant to what they’re doing with Bitergia and GrimoireLab. [00:10:37] Since Venia is the co-creator of one of the metrics, Matt is wondering when she looks at the GrimoireLab tool chain, how does that add value to what she’s looking to achieve with it? [00:12:41] Ray has a question for Manrique and Georg and wonders what have they benefited from joining CHAOSS and what have they been able to gain from being a part of a larger community? Also, have there been other benefits that they have gained from working with other software communities related to metrics? [00:16:04] Venia mentions how she wants to applaud Bitergia for how much they advertise CHAOSS and Bitergia being completely separate entities and she explains. [00:17:55] What is the goal of using GrimoireLab and what are some examples of people using it right now? [00:22:56] Ray tells us how he uses GrimoireLab. Also, Venia gives us her thoughts on dashboarding. [00:32:22] Sean is curious to know what kinds of choices are made in the design of the GrimoireLab technology to prohibit, prevent, or create some of transparency around anything that might be used to measure and individual? Also, since Git Log stores his identifying information organically, how do they handle that technically? Manrique answers these questions. [00:00:00] Matt asks Valerio if he has any stories or ideas that come to mind on how he chose to write the software that would be interesting to somebody that may not be as deep in the code as him? [00:39:12] Valerio is a mentor for Google Summer of Code participants and he’s going to tell us a little about what that is. Picks [00:48:00] Georg’s pick is a book by Benjamin Birkinbine called, “Incorporating the Digital Commons.” [00:48:50] Venia’s pick is a term that she always uses all the time from Chris Mercer, MeasurementMarketing.io which is, “The truth is in the trend, the power is in the pattern.” [00:49:42] Manrique’s picks are quotes he uses in his presentations. One is, “If you can’t measure it, you cannot improve it.” Another one is, “Without data you a just a person with an opinion.” [00:51:21] Ray’s pick is a great book called, “The Tyranny of Metrics,” by Jerry Z. Muller. [00:52:40] Valerio’s pick is valuable advice. He says,” Metrics are important, but you need to contextualize them, and you should not understand just the metric itself, but the people who contribute to your project. When you look at the data you should have an understanding of your community to see if you are not misrepresenting or misunderstanding the data you have. [00:53:24] Sean’s pick is a technical plug to a project called PlaidML. They have a cute logo too ☺! [00:54:25] Matt’s pick is that he recently upgraded his Linux laptop to Fedora 32. It’s fun to use!

Most of you know the quote, “If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it.” It's often attributed, incorrectly, to the famous nineteenth century physicist, Lord Kelvin. Wherever it came from, it's sounds about right. Same goes for this familiar quote from a popular business book author, “What gets measured gets done.” Well, in today's episode were going to talk about what's getting measured and what's actually getting done. What's getting measured are thousands of performance and quality indicators. What's getting done is docking our medical system billions of dollars every year in costs and lost productivity. Nothing new to all of you out there. But what if this “metric fixation,” is doing more than just wasting time and money? Used correctly, metrics and big data analysis offer incredible promise for research, visibility and improvement. Used incorrectly, they can steer us off course, devalue professional judgment, manipulate, encourage fraud, and possibly cause real harm to physicians, hospitals and patients. As you know, every so often we like to venture outside the medical tent for unique perspectives. That's certainly true of today's guest, historian Jerry Muller. Author of many books and a regular contributor to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Foreign Affairs. His recent book, “The Tyranny of Metrics,” arose from his initial frustrations with metric fixation in higher education. As he dug deeper, he soon realized these fixations weren't' limited to universities, and they weren't new. They were already prevalent in business, law enforcement, the military, philanthropy, and of course medicine. What he found was a growing obsession with rankings, scores and a belief that all aspects of human performance and judgment can ultimately be deconstructed, demystified and quantified. This was a fascinating discussion with a rare thinker and scholar, we hope you'll enjoy. With that said let's get started.
