| Sumario: | SoHeal 2019, the second edition of the International Workshop on Software Health has taken place in Montreal, Canada on May 28. As its previous edition, it was held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE). As such, SoHeal is establishing itself as an annual venue gathering researchers, industrials, practitioners and open source software community members to share their vision, experience and opinion on what constitutes software health and how such health should be supported, both at the level of software ecosystems and software communities. To date, there is no clear-cut definition of what constitutes software health, since it encompasses many different aspects of software design, development, evolution, deployment and operation, including success, longevity, growth, resilience, survival, diversity, sustainability, transparency, privacy, security, etc. Factors impacting software health can vary depending on the viewpoint of the involved stakeholders: process factors, technical factors concerning software artefacts (such as the source code, its documentation, log files, reviews, issue reports), social and cultural factors concerning the communities of software contributors and users, business factors concerning commercial and financial issues, legal factors such as licensing issues, ethical factors such as privacy preservation, and many more.
