Infra team,
In the interests of reducing our app load, I'm checking out possible replacements for our elections app. One of the candidates is Helios, which would apparently require me providing a CSV of eligible voters for each election. Do we have a programmatic way of getting email addresses out of FAS for different queries? For example, for some elections, we might want the cla_fpca group, while other elections may require cla_fpca+1 and others may require a specific group.
If that functionality doesn't exist, what does the effort to add it look like?

So, at this moment we have a Python client for FAS (github.com/fedora-infra/python-fedora, look at AccountSystem), which you can use yourself to gather information on users as long as your user has permission to that info (not entirely sure what permissions people have).
However, this will be changing in the near future when we move to the new account system, so you might want to make sure not to spend too long on this for now.

Well, that raises another question: will the new system have this capability? Because that's really what matters for Ben's purposes.

The ability to query FAS is important when we have requirements like this. Is this planned?

It was not planned as part of noggin, and I'll add it to the backlog. However, in the new system all of the data will be stored in LDAP, so worst case scenario we can do LDAP queries in the meantime with infra tickets.
Hi bcotton,
I have an old script than we can adapt to do some querys to the FAS system, what do you need know? maybe i can help.
regards
