Let's have a discussion
thank you
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?
