100 top contributors

Key figures

  • Less than 1 contribution per user
  • the 100 top users represents 77,2% contributions (1482 / 1920 contributions) and almost 100% of stars (major projects)
  • the top 10 users represents >1/3 of all contributions (617)

Some thoughts

  • minio fabulous project explains GO enigma
  • other tunisian-made opensource products (eg. bigbluebutton...)
  • contributions to famous or promising products (invoiceninja, odooo, prestashop) and framework (django, symfony, drupal, Apache Spark, Apache Kafka)
  • why those major tunisian opensource contributors don't do more techtalks to encourage others?
