Community Metrics Wrangling with MLstats and OpenShift

Hmm, the personal PlusFeed instance that pumps my G+ posts into Twitter has broken down somehow. Maybe it’s time to wrap up the G+ to Twitter via Talend project I’ve been fiddling with. It’s currently stalled at, “once I get things set up just right…”
