The Fedora Community Operations (CommOps) team has been compiling statistics and metrics about community activity within Fedora. This data will be used to inform strategic decisions on how to invest scarce project resources in our volunteer-driven community. We will also include some analysis and retrospective conclusions about future releases of the Operating System.

Tools used to compile metrics, graphics, and visualizations used in this talk will be made available under FOSS licenses, as they may be useful for other distros and projects outside of Fedora.

This talk will make heavy use of graphs, charts, and data visualizations, with a goal of quickly capturing a number of activity vectors to be presented in interesting and engaging ways. An extensive Q&A session will be a big part of this presentation, so the audience can get ample explanation of both results and tools used to generate them.
