This talk was presented at Open South Code 2026.

Grafana is powerful on its own. However, its true potential lies in its vibrant community of plugin developers. In this talk, we’ll explore how community plugins extend Grafana’s core functionality, enabling you to connect to a broader range of data sources and visualize your data in new ways, or start creating your own.

As a practical example, we’ll introduce the Kafka Data Source plugin and demonstrate how it lets you query and visualize Kafka topic data directly in your dashboards, eliminating the need for intermediate storage or external services. We’ll also demo how to build your first plugin.

18:30: Bienvenida 👋
18:45: 🎙️ “Desmontando el mito: ¿Es seguro nuestro ecosistema Open Source?”, Nuria Revuelta – Account Executive en Grafana Labs
Charla que explora los principales mitos sobre la seguridad del Open Source, analizando qué hay de cierto y qué no en las percepciones más comunes. También abordaremos cómo implementar buenas prácticas para garantizar un entorno de trabajo seguro utilizando OSS.
19:15: 🎙️ “Cómo crear un sorteo interactivo con Grafana usando el Infinity plugin”
Imma Valls – Staff Developer Advocate en Grafana Labs
En este rato vamos a montar un dashboard en directo que lea las respuestas del formulario de participación en el sorteo de entradas con el plugin Infinity. Visualizaremos algunos datos (no privados!) y configuraremos un panel que elija aleatoriamente y de forma transparente a 3 ganador@s de las entradas. Sin bases de datos, solo Grafana y un Google Sheet.

]]> Historias visuales de Galicia con datos abiertos https://eyeveebee.dev/historias-visuales-de-galicia-con-datos-abiertos Fri, 27 Feb 2026 08:47:18 +0000 https://eyeveebee.dev/?p=5948

Grafana Labs patrocina HackUCD 2026. Como parte del patrocinio, se presenta un reto para los estudiantes hackers. Con María Alonso, preparamos una sesión para presentar el reto e incluir una formación en el uso de Grafana para el reto.

Descripción

¿Cómo podemos saber si hoy es un buen día para practicar deporte al aire libre basándonos en la contaminación? ¿O cómo influye el clima en el consumo de servicios públicos? Los datos abiertos están ahí, pero necesitan ser interpretados para ser útiles.

Os retamos a construir un cuadro de mando (dashboard/s) y un sistema de respuesta que resuelva una duda concreta o narre una situación específica de Galicia o de sus ciudades. Buscamos proyectos que no solo visualicen tendencias, sino que también permitan a sus usuarios recibir notificaciones simplificadas y personalizables.

Objetivo 

Desarrollar un sistema que conecte al menos una fuente de datos abiertos para:

  • Crear dashboards en Grafana que hagan los datos comprensibles de un vistazo mediante gauges, heatmaps, series temporales, etc…
  • Configurar Grafana Alerting para detectar anomalías o la superación de umbrales.
  • (Opcional – Nivel Avanzado) Desarrollar una capa de usuario (App, Bot o Web) que consuma dichas alertas, de modo que la ciudadanía no tenga que interpretar gráficas complejas para estar informada.

Material de apoyo

  • Datos Xunta de Galicia: abertos.xunta.gal (Recomendado: Medio Ambiente > Calidade Ambiental/Meteoroloxía).
  • MeteoGalicia: API MeteoSIX, con datos de meteorología y calidad del aire en tiempo real.
  • Grafana: Grafana Cloud y Grafana Assistant, herramientas para el despliegue y la ayuda en la creación de dashboards.
  • Tokens de acceso: Se proporcionarán instrucciones en Discord para obtener los tokens de MeteoGalicia.

Criterios de valoración

  1. Creatividad e impacto social: ¿ayuda realmente a que una persona tome una mejor decisión sobre su salud o su entorno?
  2. Storytelling y claridad: capacidad del dashboard para narrar una historia de forma clara a simple vista.
  3. Complejidad técnica: se valorará positivamente la integración de sistemas de alerta (Telegram/Discord) y el uso de arquitecturas completas (App + Grafana).
  4. Uso de datos en tiempo real: capacidad para trabajar con flujos de datos dinámicos frente a datasets estáticos.

¿Qué no se premia?

  • No se requiere un código perfecto ni una solución totalmente funcional en todos sus aspectos; buscamos un prototipo que demuestre el potencial de la idea.

]]> The 50+ First-Timer: It’s never too late for Open Source! https://eyeveebee.dev/the-50-first-timer-its-never-too-late-for-open-source Sun, 19 Oct 2025 04:00:00 +0000 https://eyeveebee.dev/?p=5517

This talk was presented at OpenFest Bulgaria 2025: https://cfp.openfest.org/openfest-2025/talk/WAKHZG/

Thinking about contributing to an open source project? Does it seem daunting, or maybe you feel it’s too late to start? You might be surprised to learn how accessible it is—and how quickly you can make an impact.

In this session, I’ll share my journey as a first-time contributor to OpenTelemetry, detailing how I went from no contributions to becoming a project member in just one month. I’ll provide a clear roadmap from initial interest to a successful contribution, giving you actionable tips on finding the right project and tackling those “good first-time issues.” We’ll explore the crucial role of mentorship and sponsorship, especially for individuals from underrepresented groups, and how the supportive OpenTelemetry community can guide you through the process. And other communities will too.

I aim to inspire you—whether you’re from an underrepresented background or believe your chance to contribute has passed—to take the plunge and discover the rewarding world of open source. You’ll leave with actionable insights and the confidence to begin your contribution journey.
