Open-source maintainer. Open edX core contributor since 2019; I keep Python and Django ecosystems upgraded at scale and measure whether they stay healthy.
My main project. Daily health dashboards for open-source organizations, built from public data on a published method; the successor to the Open edX Repo Health Dashboard.
- Open edX: every repository graded daily on maintenance health
- Moneta: how far each fork has drifted from its upstream, with releases and security advisories
- Read-only MCP endpoint at
mcp.ossvitals.org, so AI agents can query the same data - Proposed by Axim as Open edX's official maintenance-tracking tool, replacing Backstage (DEPR)
