Hi Sharan,

Should we not ask right away?

Quick update: the Snoot team has been working at lightning-speed onboarding our PMCs over the past 48 hours, that the waitlist is now empty :-D


Do let me know if you'd like to sign up or need anything (email [hidden email])

Bon weekend,
Sally

Hi everyone --we have great news!

The inaugural group to use the Snoot analytics suite at the ASF were onboarded so efficiently over the past 24 hours that the next 5 PMCs are being admitted.


As such, if your PMC is interested in signing up, but are reluctant to do so for fear of a long wait, feel free to add your project to the list because there's a chance you'll be up and running sooner than anticipated.

As always, feel free to let me know if you need anything.

Warmly,
Sally

Some of you have been asking for more details on Snoot. Here's what Daniel has explained:
<snip>You could compare it to OpenHub/Ohloh in that they both are interactive activity trackers. Where Snoot differs is in what it tracks and how you can use that data.Snoot tracks both code activity, issues/bugs as well as email, and thus offers a broader range of data compared to OpenHub which focuses solely on the codebase. Whether it be JIRA, GitHub Issues, BugZilla, Gerrit etc, or whether it be Pony Mail, Piper Mail, mod_mbox, we'll scan it and help you decipher how things are progressing :).
The product is an interactive set of reporting widgets, where you can view stats and trends for one or more sources (be that a repo, an issue tracker or a mailing list) and even combine them into a project, an organization or a specific technology within an organization. The data is available as time-series, meaning you can view activity reports that span months, years or decades and see how things change over time. You can also do custom comparisons of projects vs other projects, as well as gain insights into which company is most invested in which project (this is of course completely up to you whether you wish to use such a feature). The data can also be exported in plain human readable formats for use in spreadsheets and other reports.
Each person that gets access to the suite starts out with the data of the entire ASF, and can then create 'views' (a sub-set of sources) for each project, sub-group or technology they wish to analyze. You could for instance create a view with all, let's say Apache Tamaya's resources bundled into it, and then see how Tamaya's faring. You could also create a second view, let's say Hadoop (or you could make an umbrella view called Big Data with all Big Data projects inside it), and compare the two, see how each segment of the ASF does and how they differ. The possibilities are....well there's a lot of them :) If nothing else, this could help projects prepare for monthly reports, by quickly summarizing what has happened on the development front in the past 3 months (or whichever time frame you wish to analyze) </snip>
Additionally, he said that they've just completed support for Web site widgets as of this morning. This allows you to add a widget (a chart) to your Web site that shows your commits, emails, issues, whatever over the past year. An example of this is what they created for Apache Traffic Server at https://preview.snoot.io/foo.html
I hope this helps!
-Sally

Hello again, everyone --a quick heads-up that we have our first list of 10 projects for the inaugural onboarding.
>From this point, I'll be adding interested projects to the waitlist. Projects will be onboarded on a first-come-first-served basis in groups of 10 per month.

Hello PMCs (in blindcopy) --I hope you are all well.
It's my pleasure to announce that the Snoot suite will be made available to all Apache projects.
You may have already seen some of Snoot's work in:
- ASF quarterly and annual reports (the graphics behind "Projects and Code" section https://s.apache.org/Ccml); - the factoids behind some of our "Did You Know?" campaigns https://twitter.com/TheASF/status/764454263275872257 - Snoot's tweets about analytics on the ASF and its activities https://twitter.com/snoot_io

Snoot are the folks behind http://status.apache.org/ under the umbrella of their mothership, Quenda, led by ASF Infra's Daniel Gruno.
I'm sure you'd agree that the insight demonstrated in their reports at https://imgur.com/a/Fierm are valuable. We're excited to share this service with the Apache community at-large!
So how does this work?
1) the offer is open to all PMCs
2) Daniel and the Snoot team will onboard 10 projects per month on a first-come-first-served basis
3) to sign up, please respond to me (Sally), as I will be maintaining the waitlist queuing process
4) I will forward the first 10 PMCs who have made the cut for the upcoming onboarding period to the Snoot team for instructions and next steps
5) the process will repeat monthly for the remaining projects on the waitlist (again, at a rate of 10 PMCs per month)

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you!
Warmest regards,
Sally

Hi Jacques

I wanted to make sure of community support.  As the feedback so far is all
positive I will take it as consensus and ask Sally to add us to the list.

Thanks
Sharan
