One-line name: Fedora Badges - Back-end Engineering Longer description of project: Fedora Badges is a fun website built to recognize contributors to Fedora, help new and existing Fedora contributors find different ways to get involved, and encourage the improvement of Fedora's infrastructure. Project licenses: Fedora Badges/Tahrir: GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 Badges designs: CC Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported Longevity (How long has the team accepted contributions): Established 2013 Community size: 3-5 developers, 2-5 designers, 5-6 sysadmins, Fedora community as users How this project benefits Fedora: Migrates existing Pyramid/Open Badges framework to Badgr as a service, also based off of Open Badges. This improves the long-term sustainability of Fedora Badges, reduces the amount of infrastructure work required to run Badges, and enables us to migrate existing data in a GDPR-conscious way. Sample plan of work for the 12 week internship. What are milestones the intern should be hitting? 1st quarter: Research badgr-server / create development environment Add a test badge FAS integration (see Sign-In Configuration) Locally in dev environment https://iddev.fedorainfracloud.org 2nd quarter: Containerizing badgr-server for Communishift (see PR #110, PR #212) python/django mysql memcached amqp broker (e.g. RabbitMQ) [research] Figuring out the best way to align local development practices with production deployment (docker-compose? minishift?) Migrate old badges data to new database (postgresql -> mysql) 3rd quarter: Migrate old badges data to new database (postgresql -> mysql) Fedora-messaging middleware Python? Writing unit tests with Pytest Containerization / running in communityshift Deployment documentation, SOP (!!!) How to add a new badge How to upgrade the version 4th quarter: Fedora-messaging middleware (see previous) Benefits to intern (What intern gets out of internship): Experience working with Python/Django (widely-used language/framework) Experience working with Open Badges specification (universally applicable) Experience working with common DevOps tools (containers, OpenShift) Access to a group of mentors across different professions / skill sets Networking opportunities in a global, interspersed Free Software community Project website: badges.fedoraproject.org Project repo: Tahrir, Tahrir-API Where can an applicant find application tasks? Tahrir issue tracker, issues tagged with “story” IRC/Telegram: #fedora-badges / @fedorabadges Skills required including what level and if they are optional: Python: Intermediate Django: Beginner Docker/containers: Beginner Kubernetes/OpenShift: Optional, but helpful Outreachy applicants are required to make a contribution as part of the application. What is the process for making a contribution? Create a FAS account Create a github account Subscribe to the badges + infrastructure mailing list Introduce yourself to the team! (On the mailing list & IRC) (Telegram suggested) Join #fedora-badges on IRC, Fedora Badges on telegram Register your nick with freenode so you can speak in channels Reading docs about Fedora infrastructure Setting up the dev environment (tahrir? badgr-server?) Installing fedora-messaging locally and publish a test message Add a test badge (using Fedora design assets) to local badgr-server
#fedora-badges
I like this project idea a lot. I do think there's a lot of items to get done on this list but it also looks like it's pretty easy to scale depending on the intern. I thought there was some ongoing discussion about messaging, is Fedora messaging the preferred interface these days?
Is there a concise link with instructions for "Add a test badge (using Fedora design assets) to local badgr-server"? If so, I think this project can go in the Outreachy system
