Import data from loco.ubuntu.com JSON service locally

[Daniel Holbach]

It'd be useful to import data from the loco.ubuntu.com JSON service locally to have real live test data.

I'd envision a ./manage.py import-life-data command that takes a bit of processing time but actually imports live data for me.

Raising importance of this. We run into more and more issues on loco.u.c that we can't reproduce locally. We should rule out problems because of existing real-life data.

This bug depends on bug 612521.

I almost nailed this one.

But im currently running into a problem. Set User property of the UserProfile is not sended with the JSON and therefore its impossible to link the UserProfile with the User object. Is this blocked by any reason?

[Ronnie (ronnie.vd.c)]

Related branche is now online. Importing fails currently at 2 points

1. The User and UserProfile are not properly linked (its now random)
2. The properties of BaseEvent are not set

The own properties of GlobalEvent and TeamEvent are saved

Any help regarding this is welcome

Thx to mhall119, point no 2 is now solved.
