The Dream I have, for a long time, wished there was a way to easily export GitHub issues and comments to Elasticsearch. The standard GitHub graphs for commits and traffic are great but I have really been missing graphs and analytics on issues and comments. If we had issues & comments in Elasticsearch, with a well-defined index mapping, we could do some interesting analytics. For example: Look at project history in terms of issues created Look at project history in terms of comments (can be a measure of community engagement) See how different labels trend over time.

Last November we held the second GrafanaCon. This time it was actually a real conference and not a glorified meetup (like GrafanaCon 2015). It was a full two day conference, with over 200 attendees, 10 sponsors, 30 talks covering a diverse set of topics from the Grafana ecosystem & user community. We also had an awesome and unique venue aboard the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum which is an aircraft carrier that has been converted into a museum highlighting US naval and air force history (it also has the spaceship Enterprise on board).
