Develop a service that captures the user activity in the Fedora project in order to support the Fedora Strategy 2028 Guiding Star: double the number of contributors who are active every week.
In order to make this strategy goal meaningful, we need a measurement.
There are secondary insights which we could also gather, helping us towards more specific goals or identifying particular problems.
What is the minimal outcome you would like to see from this initiative to be satisfied?
What are your nice or really nice to have wishes?
Fedora
Will this initiative impact CentOS, Fedora? All users? All contributors? A group of contributors? All fedora contributors, but indirectly as the end user should not have any immediate impact.
Do this initiative have any dependencies? Fedora Message bus, mailing list archives, discourse API, FAS
Skills needed? Familiarity with tool 'Sextant' could be useful & DNF Countme SQL Fedora Messaging system(s) FAS
Person who must or should be involved? NA
Other work that should be completed prior to this initiative? Not known at this time
ASAP, but Flock (aug 1-4) would be a nice time to launch this work.
This sounds like a dream data science tool that I have always wanted in Fedora. A few thoughts!
The ARC investigation is now complete and can be found here https://fedora-arc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fcas/index.html
I reviewed the ARC investigation and I think I was not clear about the scope of this task versus the original request by @mattdm. I think it would be helpful to get on a call and understand the vision better for this work: both from @mattdm on what the success criteria is and from @t0xic0der on the scope of this project.
The concern that arose for me is that we might be duplicating work and recreating the wheel. There are other communities that we could lean on for support on the technical implementation and there are also resources in Red Hat OSPO that we could leverage around metrics and data science work. For instance, we recently had a call with Cali Dolfi and James Kunstle in the RH OSPO, and it was that conversation that is concerning me about the scope of this initiative.
Again, I think a call to get all the stakeholders together at once is important. I think we always miss some people on a call and we might be contradicting each other accidentally. :grinning:
Cali tasked me at finding a new time for us all to meet because TIMEZONES, so this is in my court to set up.
