Online organizational activity dashboard

by viggy — Categories: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , Leave a comment

I just installed github client on my phone and was following news feed in it. It should how many of the students that I was following were doing loads of activities on various projects. Though as organization we were not doing it, all these were volunteers of fsmk and were contributing mainly to free software community. That made me think that as an organization we should have a dashboard where we could sum up all these activities. So this is the idea.
A drupal plugin which can connect to various other plugins to fetch aggregated data from different sources on how organization is doing in various online platforms. It could the fsmk fb group, fsmk’s mailing list, fsmk’s blog planet, its event calendar in the drupal website itself, or more specific things like github activity or other technical forum activity. Can we aggregate all this and show in a single dashboard. This page will be autogenerated by drupal plugin. May be initially it can be a single website in itself and then we can see how to integrate it with drupal. So now this is another time in my bucket list. :-)

If you’re running out of disk space and you want to quickly see what packages are using the most space on your hard drive, use the following command

dpkg-query –show –showformat=’${Package;-50}t${Installed-Size}n’ | sort -k 2 -n | grep -v deinstall | awk ‘{printf “%.3f MB t %sn”, $2/(1024), $1}’

That will sort the packages by size, putting the largest ones on the bottom. If you only want to see the top few, you can type

tail -n 10

at the end, because in all likeliness you have a *lot* of packages installed
