## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 77/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 100, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 2680, "days_push": 0, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

Stars 1115, forks 311 (observed 2026-09-03T02:15:15.713728+00:00)

## What it is
The OpenTelemetry community repository containing governance charters, contributor guides, SIG listings, meeting calendars, and communication channels for the OpenTelemetry project. It is not software itself but the central hub for how the CNCF observability project is organized and how contributors get involved.

## Use cases
- how do I contribute to opentelemetry
- find the opentelemetry special interest groups
- opentelemetry governance committee charter
- join the opentelemetry slack and community meetings
- who maintains the opentelemetry project
- opentelemetry community member list
- opentelemetry related working groups like W3C tracing

## When to choose
- you want to contribute to OpenTelemetry and need the contributor process
- you need governance documents, charters, or community membership info
- you want to find the right SIG or communication channel for a topic

## When to avoid
- you want OpenTelemetry SDKs, APIs, or instrumentation libraries - use the language-specific repos
- you want the OpenTelemetry Collector or demo application
- you need runnable code - this repo is community content only

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, monitoring
- platform: cross-platform
