There are still some known <a href=\"https:\/\/bugs.launchpad.net\/openstack-community\/+bugs?field.tag=activityboard\">bugs to fix<\/a> and while those are solved it&#8217;s time to start thinking about the future.<\/p>\n<p>Today the Activity Board is capable of answering quantitative questions on the <a href=\"http:\/\/activity.openstack.org\/dash\">Dash<\/a> like: how fast are we <a href=\"http:\/\/activity.openstack.org\/dash\/browser\/index.html\">committing code<\/a> to OpenStack? How many people are involved in fixing bugs and adding features to projects, like <a href=\"http:\/\/activity.openstack.org\/dash\/browser\/repository.html?repository=nova.git\">OpenStack Compute<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/activity.openstack.org\/dash\/browser\/repository.html?repository=ceilometer.git\">Ceilometer<\/a>? How much traffic and how many voices are <a href=\"http:\/\/activity.openstack.org\/dash\/browser\/mls-repos.html\">active on the mailing lists<\/a>? It can also give <a href=\"http:\/\/activity.openstack.org\/data\/display\/OPNSTK2\/OpenStack+Community+Insights\">Insights<\/a> on the context of any action of the community: who (people or company) is fixing bugs or committing code <a href=\"http:\/\/activity.openstack.org\/data\/display\/OPNSTK2\/Cinder\">related to OpenStack Block Storage<\/a>? Who&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/activity.openstack.org\/data\/display\/OPNSTK2\/New+Contributors+Latest+Activity+-+Last+30+Days\">contributed something<\/a> (code or bug reports) for the first time or who&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/activity.openstack.org\/data\/display\/OPNSTK2\/Contributors+Last+Activity+-++Last+30+Days\">doing &#8216;stuff&#8217;<\/a> in the past 30 days?\u00a0 The insights can be useful for new members of the community to identify, for example, the most knowledgeable people in a particular area of the code. Or for a potential customer to identify the companies with most expertise in areas crucial for them. Since Activity Board launched we&#8217;ve received also comments and requests for new reports from project managers, developers and marketing managers. Keep them coming: the more feedback we get the more useful the tool can be.\u00a0 We are thinking of ways to include more sources of data. For example, now the page for <a href=\"http:\/\/activity.openstack.org\/data\/pages\/viewpage.action?pageId=3670250\">OpenStack Object Storage<\/a> shows the list of recent bugs, reviews, milestones and branches, links to core repository but we can add links to the recently relevant questions on <a href=\"https:\/\/ask.openstack.org\/questions\/scope:all\/sort:activity-desc\/tags:swift\/page:1\/\">Ask OpenStack<\/a> and to relevant documentation pages and even show there information about people and companies active on reviews, bug fixing and code contributions. A page like that could well become one of the main source of relevant, always up to date, information about any project.<\/p>\n<p>The Activity Board project is a young project but it is growing fast: there are many ways to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.openstack.org\/blog\/2013\/05\/contribute-to-openstack-activity-board\/\">contribute to OpenStack Activity Board<\/a>, the simplest of which are to join the <a href=\"http:\/\/openstack.markmail.org\/search\/?q=+list%3Aorg.openstack.lists.openstack-dev+subject%3A[metrics]\">discussions tagged [Metrics]<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bugs.launchpad.net\/openstack-community\/+bugs?field.searchtext=&amp;orderby=-importance&amp;field.status%3Alist=NEW&amp;field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&amp;field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&amp;field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&amp;field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&amp;field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&amp;field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&amp;field.importance%3Alist=WISHLIST&amp;assignee_option=any&amp;field.assignee=&amp;field.bug_reporter=&amp;field.bug_commenter=&amp;field.subscriber=&amp;field.structural_subscriber=&amp;field.tag=activityboard+&amp;field.tags_combinator=ANY&amp;field.has_cve.used=&amp;field.omit_dupes.used=&amp;field.omit_dupes=on&amp;field.affects_me.used=&amp;field.has_patch.used=&amp;field.has_branches.used=&amp;field.has_branches=on&amp;field.has_no_branches.used=&amp;field.has_no_branches=on&amp;field.has_blueprints.used=&amp;field.has_blueprints=on&amp;field.has_no_blueprints.used=&amp;field.has_no_blueprints=on&amp;search=Search\">add your ideas to the wishilist<\/a>.
