I\u2019ve started a new project called stackquery-dashboard<\/a>. Basically, it\u2019s a web interface to show reports about user contribution in OpenStack<\/a>, using the\u00a0stackalytics.com<\/a>\u00a0API and part of the code from launchpadstats<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0\u00a0Martina Kollarova<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first reason I start this project is because stackalytics.com only shows reports for each user, and sometimes managers in companies working with OpenStack, need a overview of all their employees at once, and it\u2019s kinda boring to look for each user and then mount a spreadsheet.<\/p>\n

The project have a Web interface, where you can create teams, assign users for these teams and generate reports based on several OpenStack projects (actually, right now it\u2019s only Openstack and Stackforge).<\/p>\n

The second reason is because for a long time I wanted to use Python for web, and it was a good opportunity to start.<\/p>\n

Flask<\/a> is really amazing and very easy to learn. I read this book<\/a> and in one day I was already doing some cool stuff.
\nAlso, since I\u2019m not a Web designer, I had the opportunity to learn about Twitter bootstrap<\/a>, which is very good for people who have no idea how CSS and JavaScript works and don\u2019t want to waste a lot of time learning before start some project using these technologies.<\/p>\n

The project is very simple, and still in the earlier stages. I\u2019m not sure if it will be useful for anyone, but if is, please, let me know. I would be glad to hear about it.<\/p>\n

Next steps<\/h6>\n
