OSS Watch in Oxford
I am at Oxford in the UK (staying at Hertford College Graduate Center) for a few days for the OSS Watch workshop on Profiling Open Source Communities.
I'm giving The Standard FLOSSmole Talk today at 11:45GMT.
OSS Watch is the National Advisory Service on open source for UK Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE). As such, it is part of our remit to help FE and HE institutions and projects who want to engage with open source development, and a key factor for that is the development of open source communities.

July data released
Well moles, we were hoping to move to Google Code over the summer to host our file releases, but unfortunately, they have some size (and other?) limitations which are messing us up. They have no problem storing certain files, but others produce errors when I try to upload them. They are rejecting more and more of our files. I've put in a ticket to see if they can bump up the quota over there, but in the meantime, I'm back to putting files up on Sourceforge Downloads page.
Here's the download files area over on SF (available files for July: Freshmeat, Rubyforge, and Objectweb)
(Remember, since it's an "odd" month, for Sourceforge data, select the "June" release.)
I was able to get some of the files up on Google Code, so go over there and check the files out there if you like.

June SF data posted
June Sourceforge data has been posted.
This time, I've released the files onto our Google Code project page. Let's see how we like using Google Code for this (psst, I can tell you as the person who does the file releases: it's a lot easier to use Google Code than Sourceforge for this particular part of the job!)
Enjoy!
UPDATE: Because of file size limits on Google Code, I've had to re-release our code onto Sourceforge.
Here is the link to the Flossmole SF Downloads Page, where you can get ALL the June files, including the huge datamart files.

February data released
Go to our file release page on Sourceforge and pick up all the latest files.
Included this month: SF, FM, RF, OW flat files and data marts (sql statements).
(Debian is on the way! I'll update here as soon as it's ready.)

Jan files released and Dec datamarts posted
Hi Moles!
The January data files have been released, and I went back and released the December data marts too (sql statements to make your own database).
Have fun with it! Grab the data from our Sourceforge project page.

October data released
Sorry for the lack of postings! The data has been released, I guess I just forgot to post the updates.
Here are the October data links.

August data released (mostly)
Greetings moles! We have the August data release mostly done.
Get the data marts (sql) or the flat files over on our Sourceforge file release page, or use the query tool to explore.
I say the August is "mostly" done because we had some technical difficulties with the Sourceforge and Debian releases, but these should be cleared up around mid-month.
So if you're looking for Sourceforge data and you just can't wait, why not give the Freshmeat or Rubyforge or Objectweb or Free Software Foundation a try? You might find some interesting things in there.
We have some new trove definitions that have been added to Freshmeat, in order to help better explain the trove categories of each project. In the flat files, the new files are: fmProjectTrove and fmTroveDefs. In the data marts, the new file is datamart_fm_trove_defs. A big thanks to user Bob Daly for this trove information and the idea to include it!

SF Status pages: bug fix
Just wanted to let you guys know about a bug fix on the status pages for the SF data. Each project has a "status" (i.e. beta, alpha, production, etc). We were under the impression that each project only had a single status (we assumed this represented the project's "current" status), but this turned out not to be the case.
Our code was therefore erroneously grabbing only the first of a possible list of status codes. Consequently, some projects that had multiple status codes were not shown correctly.
I have gone into the June 2007 and April 2007 data and made the corrections, and I'll get to the older data sets at some point. (Let me know if this is a high priority for you and I'll try to get to them faster.) Obviously, the upcoming August data set will now be run correctly.
When looking through the old packages, you'll want to look for the files marked ".fixed.bz2".

debian data released
I collected some debian package data and started parsing it to see what kind of stuff we might find in there.
I will probably need some help from the user community on this one, to know what sort of data you find interesting in these packages.
Here are the files I collected:
Obviously there is a lot of information there, and I only parsed some of it out for this initial run. Here are the items I parsed and released:
I'd love to hear from the community about what items you would like to see parsed out.

Here are the files I collected:
- project home pages for stable, unstable, and testing versions (Example of stable page)
- copyright pages (Example of a copyright page)
- developer information page (Example of a developer information page)
- changelog page (Example of a changelog)
- bug reports page (Example of a bug reports page)
Obviously there is a lot of information there, and I only parsed some of it out for this initial run. Here are the items I parsed and released:
- package name, version, parent directory
- any URLs found in the copyright page, and any URLs found within the textual description of the project found on the stable project page
- developers (maintainers and co-maintainers listed on the developer information page)
I'd love to hear from the community about what items you would like to see parsed out.
June data released - all forges

May 2007 data released for small forges
May 2007 data is released for the small forges. (Reminder that Sourceforge data is next scheduled for a release in June.)
As usual, there are 3 ways to get FLOSSmole data:
(1) Flat files (includes May 2007 data, plus historical data if you wish)
(2) Get the data marts
(3) Browse results of common queries
