DESCRIPTION:The use of automated accounts (Bots) in free\, open-source soft
 ware projects has been increasing over time. These accounts facilitate cer
 tain maintenance and management tasks\, but also complicate the analysis o
 f the activity that the community carries out within those projects. Added
  to this is the difficulty of identifying individuals (both humans and bot
 s) that use different accounts in various tools commonly used in the devel
 opment of software projects.\n\nDifferentiating these automatic accounts a
 nd their contributions from those coming from human developers causes an i
 ncreasing impact when analyzing the information related to the real activi
 ty generated by the community in these projects.\n\nThis talk presents the
  common challenges when identifying automatic accounts in software project
 s and solutions to alleviate this problem (such as the creation of unique 
 identities that group different profiles from the same or different source
 s of information). In addition\, we will study the impact and evolution of
  these accounts in a subset of Wikimedia Foundation repositories over the 
 last 10 years or so. This study raises the possibility of observing the di
 fferences between the activity of humans and bots\, seeing how it evolves 
 in the future\, and comparing it with the activity of other communities.
