Fwd: A $5B Value: The Code in Linux Foundation Collaborative Projects

Hi. This report is real interesting reading, it could be real cool to do the same math for ASF. Is anybody interested in forming a small work team (a LABS project), and try to do the calculation for ASF ? rgds jan I. -- Forwarded message -- From: Linux Foundation

Re: Fwd: A $5B Value: The Code in Linux Foundation Collaborative Projects

Hi Daniel. I know that David gave a keynote (was there) with the numbers you mention, but I imaged making it more "official" like this report, so we have something to sponsors and other interested. We need to promote ASF, and this could be one way of doing it. rgds jan I. On 30 September

Re: Fwd: A $5B Value: The Code in Linux Foundation Collaborative Projects

Hi Jan, We actually did the math last year for ACEU 2014, I'll try to find it for you. But in short, take the LF number, multiply it by 1.25 and you sort of get to the figures we were discussing back then. This is highly subjective and not in any way an _actual_ science (neither are the LF

RE: Fwd: A $5B Value: The Code in Linux Foundation Collaborative Projects

This whole process is nonsense (not disparaging the work done by people here, it's good to see comparative numbers). My point is, as Daniel says below, it's all subjective. The value is not in how much effort it takes to pump out code - hell I've probably written at least a $B of code by that
