CHAOSS Value Working Group
Table of Contents
Introduction
Goals
Community initiatives do not reflect the same value as other common organizational efforts. This results in community work often being undervalued by people, organizations, communities, and society. The Value working group aims to advance how we understand the value that projects can provide.
Purpose
Value group will develop metrics that, when measured, help make the impact of community work more transparent.
Who should join this working group?
All contributors are welcome to participate in the Value Working Group. The areas of interest include social value, organizational value, individual value, communal value and academic value.

| Organizational Value | Identify the degree to which a project is monetarily valuable from an organization's perspective. |
| Individual Value | Identify the degree to which a project is valuable to me as an individual user or contributor. |
| Communal Value | Identify the degree to which a project is valuable to its community of users (including downstream projects) or contributors. |
