Was there any success on running Badges in OpenShift? No, we only had time to setup the CI so that you can get feedback on PR.

If we already have a working vagrant setup, I don't think investing in creating a container environment is needed.

I think this would be good to be done before the Hackfest, if you can identify 2 features in the next few days, then we can the use the time we have until the Hackfest to break these features down in smaller tasks and agree on how do we consider a feature complete. Then you could organize the Hackfest like a mini sprint :-) Every year the infrastructure team holds an Hackfest in Spring, Randy (bolwofeggs) suggested that it might be a good idea to spend this Hackfest on badges this year.
