4. Current Integration Challenges
‣ General lack of integration amongst Projects’ content
‣ Interoperability, Traceability, Faceted search
‣ Project leaders: dashboard of status for milestones, activity of
contributors, translations, documentation, bugs, etc.
‣ OpenStack community management:
‣ Lack of integration/traceability/reconciliation/visibility
‣ Community member collaboration with OpenStack:
‣ No consistency/interoperability of internal content with that of
the OpenStack community
‣ Community members want to harvest community-generated
knowledgebase for their own customers more efficiently,
integrate this info with internal knowledgebase

5. Pilot Results: Architecture

6. Sample Questions to Answer
‣ Pilot
‣ Who are the most and least active users?
‣ What is the trend of bugs fixed over time?
‣ Which company has been active with specific project parts?
‣ Beyond the Pilot
‣ Show public information combined in a cohesive way with my
private information and enable interoperability of content
amongst tools and applications
‣ How much did this company pay, and what is that with
respect to the cost of the feature? their contribution?
their participation?
‣ Show accountability of the community in terms
of cost and value

• Faceted Search:
– Finding precise information, quickly and easily
• Follow the life of a patch:
– Git -> Bug tracker -> Person -> Company
– What else is the company/person working on?
– What were they doing in the past?
• Bug report:
– What person in which company filed it?
– See the discussions, the patch, who authored it?
