Grimoirelab is an open-source toolset for software development analytics. Grimoirelab provides a set of tools to collect, analyze and visualize software development metrics from a variety of sources like Git, Jira, Confluence, Slack, etc. In order to manage the identities of people across these different sources, Grimoirelab developed Sorting Hat. Sorting Hat manages the identities of people and related metadata.
As part of the metadata collected around identities, Sorting Hat stores organizational information such as the name and domains related to the organization. This project aims to add to this information by extending the existing Organization model to capture the internal structure of organizations such as departments, sub-organizations, and teams. This will help in annotating the identity information more meaningfully.
