In fact, we've been utilizing a homegrown metrics based evaluation tool for years to help us evaluate the health and vitality of open source communities. We have it available for release under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. However, its format is currently a spreadsheet; so there really is no public open source repository (e.g. GitHub, SourceForge.net, Google Code, etc.) available that will take spreadsheets. Our future plans are to create a web application off of it; but we simply don't have the bandwidth at present to execute such work.

Usually, the cafe who subscribed to wistro have a unrestricted internet acces, see the list on http://www.wistro.fr/WistroPresDeChezVous.aspx . You have to ask the password however, and it may not work every time. But you can also go the Paris office of RedHat ( even if this is a little bit far away from downtown ). While living myself in Paris since a long time, I do not have much to recommend to you, usually, booking.com is quite helpful to find hotels, and you can select one with wifi. The french community is quite active, so I guess you can come and ask on irc ( #fedora-fr on freenode ) if you need some help. Regarding restaurants, I could recommend some with typical french food, like the various resturants near gare montparnasse ( rue d'odessa, paris 14 ) ( food from Brittany ). For something to see, you can go on montmartre, by night. Going to the catacombs is forbidden usually, even if I know lots of people who do. There is also lots of museum, depending on what you like.

I just got out of an open source job and joined academia, where I hope to stay with the movement. metrics on communities would be huge. I’m interested in working on this.
