+
+
+==== Description
+
+During the course of the project, you will be closely working with the Fedora Community Operations (CommOps) Team to build a metrics dashboard for the community. For building the dashboard, we will be using Grimoirelab suite of tools to build the backend as well as the frontend.
+
+Perceval is a tool that collects data from a given data source and has a lot of pre-defined plugins. The aim of this project is to add fedmsg support to it so that metrics can be pulled out of it, suitable for the Fedora community.
+
+==== Final Deliverables
+
+- A working fedmsg consumer
+- A plugin for perceval to pull metrics from fedmsg directly

+=== Pagure: A git based source repository
+
+- Difficulty: Intermediate

+- Mentors:  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pingou[pingou]
+
+NOTE: Applicants interested in Pagure *must* contribute by solving https://pagure.io/pagure/issues?status=Open&tags=easyfix[easy fix issues] before the end of the application period.
+
+Pagure is a git-centered forge, python based using pygit2.
+
+With pagure you can host your project with its documentation, let your users report issues or request enhancements using the ticketing system and build yourcommunity of contributors by allowing them to fork your projects and contributeto it via the now-popular pull-request mechanism.
+
+- Homepage: https://pagure.io/pagure
+- Issues: https://pagure.io/pagure/issues
+
+Projects in Pagure will be selected by the student in concert with the mentor.  They will be drawn from the non-easyfix issues in the issue queue.  Students are expected to guide the mentor in htelping them select areas of interest.
