These 5 levels of transparency are important for building a thriving open source community.  + +This article describes each level, its goals, and why they are important. But first, I revisit why transparency is important for open source ecosystems. + +### Why do open source ecosystems need transparency? + + * Transparent communities inspire trust** **in each other, which greases the wheels of collaboration. + * Communities work together and exchange messages in the open. + * Open source work happens in a transparent way to avoid friction. + * Community managers need to report to their stakeholders. + * Showing communities what information is available about them is healthy and encourages trust. + + + +### What are the 5 levels of transparency? + +#### Transparency level 1: Publish source code + +This level is about releasing source code under an [Open Source Initiative (OSI)-approved license][2] in a public-facing version control system like [Git][3]. + +The first level's goal is to establish** **an open source project. + + * This level is self-evident as there would be no open source project without the source code. + * At the core of an open source project is the source code that people engage with—licensed under an OSI-approved license. + * A public version control system enables collaboration and allows everyone to analyze the project and understand the collaboration patterns. + + + +#### Transparency level 2: Publish community guidelines + +You publish documentation and resources on contributing at this level, and you organize special events to educate the community. + +The second level's goal is to create and grow a community for an open source project. + + * Building an active community requires more than** **just having a source code**.** + * Being transparent about how a project works and how to contribute enables others to join a project**.** + * Growing the community may involve** **running events and doing special activities for contributors. + + + +#### Transparency level 3: Celebrate successes + +Once you reach this level, it's important to share insights about the community and publish reports about the project's status. + +The third level's goal is to celebrate successes and secure further support** **beyond the initial phase of the community. + + * As open source communities grow, it becomes harder to know what's happening everywhere. + * Being transparent about the activities in the community helps community members know that their contributions are being seen and valued. + * At this level of transparency, the reporting and analytics** **are sporadic and without specific tooling.  + + + +#### Transparency level 4: Understand the pulse of the community + +This level is all about listening to the community—keeping an eye on the project's evolution in community activity and the software development process to take corrective actions. + +The fourth level's goal is to take the community to the next level by understanding its evolution and trajectory with consistency and scientific rigor. + + * Reporting mechanisms and analytics tools help keep an eye on what is happening. + * You can compare events in the community and the subsequent reactions of community members to a baseline and other events in the community. + * Deeper insights into the community are possible with consistent listening. + + + +#### Transparency level 5: Maintain the community long-term + +The last step is acting on community metrics and improving community engagement. + +The fifth level's goal is to make meaningful and impactful decisions about community engagement. + + * Have systems in place to** **react to changes** **in community metrics. + * Follow up on how changes to the community are showing up in the metrics and analytics about the community. + * Set "SLAs" and accountability for maintainers or developers to have goals for their community engagement and at a system level makes sure things get done. + + + +### Wrap up + +Open source community managers need to apply these 5 levels of transparency to build a thriving open source community. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://opensource.com/article/22/2/transparency-open-source-communities + +作者：[Emilio Galeano Gryciuk][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://opensource.com/users/egaleano +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/lead-images/OSDC_dandelion_520x292.png?itok=-xhFQvUj (Person in a field of dandelions) +[2]: https://opensource.org/licenses +[3]: https://opensource.com/tags/git
