For everybody: the project is hosted on
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/groups, the development
version is on http://groups-dev.openstack.org/ and blueprints are on
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-community/+spec/community-portal

Indeed, we're working on a Single Sign On authentication provider. I'm
adding the relevant blueprints on
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-ci/+spec/sso-openid-provider

I think the reporting project is a separate one, actually. The groups
portal and the SSO/Identity tool are IMHO "source" of data: we need to
have good source for activities and be able to track generic 'things'.

To answer the original question by Tristan, I agree that the Foundation
should enrich the reports it publishes now with geographic data. The
only reason why this is not happening at the moment is that the database
we have at the moment is not exporting geographic information. The
Foundation has the data, we don't have a way to export it and represent
it in a meaningful way.

I think we could hack something together rapidly to have a cute map but
given that there there are people reworking heavily on reporting systems
let's have a more comprehensive conversation in HK like Marton suggests
and let's build a set of specs for adding the geographic dimension to
the Activity Board. The first step to do is to list a set of questions
we want to find answers for on it: Tristan, want to start a wiki page or
send an email with those?

thanks,
stef
