Pre and Post FOSDEM Activity of FOSDEM participants

[Bhagyashree Uday]

Hi Commops,

A badges workshop was conducted during FOSDEM 2016 and a lot of people
logged into Fedora Badges for the first time during FOSDEM.decause
suggested then that we should prolly compile some metrics to see the
activity of these people thereafter. Do these users contribute continously?
or Are they just active during FOSDEM?

38 users logged into Fedora Badges first time.
Out of these 24 hadnt contributed in past year(new users)
People showed an increase in participation post FOSDEM even previously
active users :)

The link contains the Pre, Post and FOSDEM activity details of these users
:
 http://fpaste.org/325121/55827928/ . <http://fpaste.org/325121/55827928/>

Link to datagrepper containing list of users who logged into fedbadges for
first time in FOSDEM :
datagrepper query here
<https://apps.fedoraproject.org/datagrepper/raw?topic=org.fedoraproject.pr...

The details and the graph is also in the attached spread sheet. The graph
doesnt contain one user - apevec as he had very high activity as compared
to other users and hence adding the user made the overall activity
difference less discernable.

That's a great idea!

Is this for the FOSDEM 2016 badge? What about for the 2015 and 2014
badges?

have been covered since I used datagrepper msgs to identify the
FOSDEM attendees and not Fedora Badges itself. So, it only covers the users
who were alloted the badge within the FOSDEM period. I will cover the 2014
and 2015 FOSDEM attendees along with the full list over the weekend.

Would love to hear if you have any other suggestions/ideas for metrics
related to FOSDEM and other Fedora conferences too.

Just wanted to give my +1 on how awesome this is. Knowing that we have 
the ability to track these kind of metrics is a powerful and awesome 
tool that we can leverage, especially for events, which can sometimes we 
difficult to represent in quantifiable terms.

I brought up this specific report at the FAmNA meeting tonight too. This 
is something I'd like to try to analyze for the upcoming BrickHack 
hackathon at the beginning of March. There's a lot of things planned for 
this particular event and being able to monitor our impact with badges 
is something that is really exciting to me!!

Thanks for the encouragement Justin. I will write a more generalized script
so that we can use it to analyse the upcoming BrickHack hackathon too. Do
you have any more ideas/domains for which we could develop metrics for
upcoming hackathon ?

Thinking of what we're planning on doing, badges and a count of code 
changed in various repositories that participants are hacking on will be 
a major part of the event.

We're planning on having two badges for the event. One is already 
created, the BrickHack 2016 visitor badge, and another will hopefully be 
awarded to winning participants in the Open Source category.

Participants will be hacking onto open source projects of their choice, 
while various Fedora projects will be presented and made available to 
those willing to hack onto our own infrastructure and software. Ideally, 
we can judge contributions made based on something like number of pull 
requests submitted, number of lines of code changed, and maybe some 
other quality qualifier, like maybe if the PR is accepted.

I also want to try to tie long-term activity by participants holding the 
badge to monitor how far or how deep they go into Fedora. Did we make an 
impact with the students there? How many went on to contribute to the 
Project after the event? If we can begin doing this kind of strategy at 
more events, it will be easier to answer questions like:

* How did we do at [X] event?
* How does it compare to prior events?
* Did we impact more people here based on the number of people who have
   a badge?
* How far did event-goers go into Fedora?

And so on. Hope this helps!

Hi ,

So, I am attaching the data for FOSDEM 2014,2015 and 2016. I am working on
the buckets as discussed in IRC yesterday and will mail shortly. It
contains the list of FOSDEM participants who claimed the badge, newcomers
amongst them and their contribution activity for short term(one month
pre/post the event) and long term(one year pre/post the event) along with
the increase/decrease in their activity after the event.

So this data answers questions like (as proposed by jflory7)
* How did we do at [X] event?
* How does it compare to prior events?
* Did we impact more people here based on the number of people who have
  a badge?

and also,
* Did contributors come back to the event ?

For questions like
* How did the event impact areas of Fedora like badges, commblog etc ?
* How far did event-goers go into Fedora?
I need to dive in deeper :)

This data is *fantastic*. I wonder if there is a more static location we 
can place that data so it is more widely accessible to other interested 
viewers? I'm partially inclined to say "wiki", but then again, I'm not 
entirely sure.

Maybe someone else has some suggestions for a cool place we can put this 
data up and have it be easily editable by others? If not, then I think 
we should look at getting a wiki page up as a place to put this.

This kind of thing really *really* excites me. It's so cool knowing that 
we can pull these stats together using things that already exist in our 
own infrastructure!

Hi jflory ,

I will update the data to fedora-stats-tools repo on github :) It already
has some awesome Fedora data files in it based upon previous works.

Hi ,

So I am pretty late with this since I have been stuck with my mid semester
exams for the past week and more but here is the FOSDEM report finally :
https://networksfordata.wordpress.com/2016/03/08/fedora-at-fosdem/

Do tell me what you think and suggestions/any more metrics to include, if
any.

Also, jflory we can surely work on Brickhacks report next :)

Cheers,
Bee

Pretty sure we discussed this pretty heavily in IRC and in the CommOps 
meeting, but this is seriously *awesome* data that tells a fantastic 
story of Fedora's impact at FOSDEM over the past three years. I think 
your report is something everyone in the Project should at least look 
over to see the kind of stories that can be told with our existing 
infrastructure, like Badges and fedmsg (looking forward to taking a look 
at BrickHack next)!

I'm CCing a few extra lists for this reply:

* Ambassadors: Great read to see how we can measure impact at events and 
justify an event from a budget perspective by finding a way to turn the 
"people interactions" into quantifiable data

* Social Media / Marketing: This would be a great thing to highlight on 
the official Fedora feeds. I'm going to post it to /r/Fedora on Reddit 
and the Telegram announcement group momentarily. Getting this on 
Facebook / Twitter / Google+ would be a great thing to do!

If anyone from these other lists has feedback on the actual article or 
wants to discuss it further, please make sure you reply to the CommOps 
list to prevent cross-posting across the lists.

Thanks everyone!
