Naming is hard. I kicked off some discussions because I think we need to rename the CHAOSS Bus Factor metric to something less macabre. People seem to agree that we should rename it, but wow is there little to no consensus about what we should call it! What have I gotten myself into? I know better than to get involved in naming things 🤣 🤪
@geekygirldawn "Lottery factor"? If they win the lottery and decide to do *something else*, it's a much more positive way to look at it.
@Conan_Kudo I tend to call it Lottery Factor, so that's on our list :)
@geekygirldawn @Conan_Kudo that’s what I typically go for in work settings, but does it work so well for open source where it’s possible if someone won the lottery they’d be very happy that they no longer need to find funding for the project they’re working on?
@jon @Conan_Kudo Exactly :) That's the main objection to Lottery Factor - I've had so many maintainers tell me that if they won the lottery, they would spend more, not less, time on their OSS projects :)
