Who is contributing to Open Source development?
Hi, do you know about any research on mapping the profile of people who are contributing to an open source project? I found an interesting report from 2008: http://www.redhat.com/about/where-is-open-source/ but I'd like to know are things like correlation to - country - GDP / capita of the country - freedom of speech in the country - personal income - living in urban or rural area - ... (probably a few other things I cant think about now) Anyone with better Google fu or who remembers such research, please send me links. regards Gabor -- Gabor Szabo http://szabgab.com/ ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

I noticed that Israel was simply not included in the survey. This does not mean that he situation here is terrible or excellent, just that the folks at Georgia Tech did not manage to find data that would be suitable for inclusion, comparable, etc. It is not even clear how hard they tried - they could have decided that 75 countries presented a good enough sample. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | p...@goldshmidt.org ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
