[Owner: Faqir Bilal]
Some background:
The purpose of this project is to provide a comprehensive view of the organizations using Open edX, including their location, engagement level, technical information, and sector/subsector. And so one of the goals is that by understanding how the platform is being used, we can identify potential areas of focus for the product and better serve the needs of users/learners.
The scope of this project is quite broad - we've gathered data from over 4,500 organizations using Open edX, and we've organized the data into different categories to help us make sense of it all. I should mention that this project is still a work in progress, but we're excited about the insights we've already gained and the potential for further analysis. We'll be constantly updating the data to ensure it's up-to-date and valuable.

Offer input - Faqir Bilal will share a public version of this spreadsheet for us to give input and comments on dashboard design and what example data looks like
Here's how can you help/contribute:
Please take look at the dashboard skeleton for v1 of this project, and propose any visualizations or useful analysis that we should include as part of our standard reports
