Hi Alexandre ,

Thanks for the mail and metrics suggestions.

Hi,

My name is Alexandre Moine and I am a french student in computer science. I am working on fedora as a packager and an ambassador for now 4 years.

I am currently working for an event [1], and I found very difficult to find any stats about fedora. On the CommOps wiki page, there is some link about tools (fedora-stats-tool, gscoc-stats), but they are not very easy to use for the first, and too focused for the second.

skamath or I can help you set up the tools you need and extract the stats needed. We usually around in #fedora-commops irc channel. My IRC nick is bee2502.

I was thinking about a site that will provide all fedora basic-data (based on the great fedora apps datagrepper), like number of package added, number of user, with charts. We can also imagine a tool that will provide more specific datas/charts (number of wiki edit per day or number of crated iso by pungi per weeks) on demand.

Infra is currently working on a tool for getting such kinds of stats. It's called statscache[1]. You can know more about the motivation and how it is built here [2]. To store these kinds of metrics, you need to build a statscache plugin first. However, for contributors interested in the final data, there are plans to have a frontend for such metrics in Fedora Hubs[3]. However, this is going to take some time and if you need immediate metrics for your event, I am sure the slides for 'State of Fedora' talk by mattdm have some great ones. These are the slides from FOSDEM in Jan 2016[4] and here is the more recent version from flock in Aug 2016[5] . If you need any metrics apart from these, dont hesitate to mail or ping in IRC.

Also, since we are on this topic , pingou had in past created a web-front end for metrics like you were suggesting. You can view it at http://thisweekinfedora.org/. Unfortunately, it's no longer active.

This wiki page [2] have good ideas, but it is kind of outdated.

Thanks for pointing out, the page surely needs some love and updates :)

This can help ambassadors, like me now, or even all the part of the project: to now for example if a service is well used or not, or to see if a part of the project needs help.

There is here, I think, no huge difficulties. Datagrepper is really easy to use. It only require "some" website devel and intergration. I'm a not a professional dev, and I apologize in advance if my words are not wisely ;)
I am talking about a website because they are more friendly, but a great python tool will be very nice :)

Please tell me what you think about it, and if you have any ideas.

Hope that is helpful,

Bee

Alexandre
