The git commit numbers look way off, for the reasons you mentioned below.
These numbers are more accurate (at least with regard to OpenStack - AFAIK they mine teh data from github.com/openstack) : http://www.ohloh.net/p/compare?project_0=OpenStack&project_1=CloudStack&... ________________________________ From: Atwood, Mark Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2013 11:47 AM To: user-committee@lists.openstack.org; marketing@lists.openstack.org; community@lists.openstack.org Subject: qyjohn's quarterly report of the size and health of the 4 open source projects is out
Hi!
Each quarter, Qingye Jiang, an employee of Eucalyptus, publishes a report of the community and contribution metrics of OpenStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus, and CloudStack. He has just published his report for Y13Q2
It’s in Chinese, but he typically publishes an English translation a few days later.
Short summary of OpenStack’s position: We are still in the lead and accelerating. However, CloudStack is also accelerating and growing fast. We are far and away best at bringing in new contributors.
The data sources for discussion thread metrics for OpenStack are https://lists.openstack.net/openstack/ https://answers.launchpad.net/openstack/ http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/*/ https://ask.openstack.org/
Is he missing any public discussion forums about OpenStack of import that we should bring to his attention?
His also mines the git repos for quantum, keystone, glance, horizon, swift, cinder, and nova. This misses the contributions by incubation projects, preincubation projects, the infrastructure projects, and client projects.
Share and enjoy.
