State of the Octoverse 2013

[octo_t]

One thing on this that surprises me is that the Rust repo has the second highest number of issues closed out of any repo on github, after homebrew.

[idProQuo]

While I'm sure this does indicate that the Rust guys are pretty industrious, I feel like judging a project by how many issues it's closed is like judging it by how many lines of code it has.

I'm not sure if it's much of a compliment, but it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that we have a lot of bugs. :) I guess the good news is that we're apparently working damn hard to squash them!

These graphics/charts are beautiful. Any more details on how they were made?

[gulbrandr]

The data seems to be coming from these URLs:

http://octoverse.github.com/data/totals.csv

http://octoverse.github.com/data/shipped-drinkups.csv

http://octoverse.github.com/data/requested-sponsorships.csv

http://octoverse.github.com/data/daily-activity.csv

http://octoverse.github.com/data/sample-events.csv

http://octoverse.github.com/data/world-110m.json

http://octoverse.github.com/data/world-wo-a-110m.json

and displayed with d3.js (see http://octoverse.github.com/javascripts/all.js)

A lot of people(airbnb comes to mind) doing these now, cool to see one from GitHub.

I don't know if there is a bug with the globe but that seemed pretty weak to me-- not enough data and random points get highlighted. Anyone else find it a little lacking-- kind of like a silly "let's include a d3 globe just cause we can"?

Kudos to the coders who built this interactive Infographic. Very impressive.

[midas007]

Wow, github is all mostly grown up now. Hundred staff or so.

Three 🍻 (:beers:) !

We actually have more like 238 Hubbers. You can see us at https://github.com/humans.txt or https://github.com/about/team.

It's so sad to see meet ups and drink-ups from every state surrounding Alabama, but not actually in Alabama. I take great pride from being in this state my entire life, and I'd like to start something here.

[jbarnette]

I wouldn't be surprised if a few GitHubbers dropped by Huntsville sometime this summer. Watch the blog.

[prawks]

I was surprised to see a drink-up on their map in Portland, ME (where I am), however it was actually for OSCON in the other Portland, in OR.

Bummer :(

What timezone does that data in the daily and hourly graphs reflect?

[jessaustin]

If it's like most other parts of Github, it's based on the timezone recorded for each particular commit. That is, if you're in PST while I'm in CST (or at least our respective development environments think that) and we make a commit simultaneously, your commit activity will "occur" two hours before mine.

Github is a global company, so it would be surprising to see such a perfect "working day" profile on that graph if local timezone were not taken into account.

[imbriaco]

US/Pacific I believe.

[lelandbatey]

I was stoked to see some events I love up there on the Community page.

Whooo CodeDay! http://codeday.org/

[fidz]

I wonder how they make the globe

[rayshan]

Looks like they're using a custom D3 build.
