      This is a contrived approach serving no purpose other than as a vanity metric for some in Top 10. Would a small startup with more or all of its employers contributing to open source as #1? #vanitymetrics /cc @mjasay

      If it's a vanity metric it sure doesn't help my employer. ;-) (You'd think if I were aiming for vanity I would have found a way to include us and not a competitor. It's imperfect data, but it's still interesting, IMO.)

      Hey Matt, I don’t question your intention or integrity. It just didn’t seem meaningful. It might even make people question those that are really contributing (like MS)

      But you'd find that some *do* think percentage of employees (or engineers) contributing is a big deal. Google already commented that they measure it and they're #1. :-)

      Yes - those interested in vanity metrics, so that they can boast :). What is higher - 40% of 1000 or 3% of 131,000 or 100% of a hypothetical 5 member startup? Contribution per employee also differs within/ across companies, how would you account for that?

      At any rate, what I'm *most* happy about is that you're apparently volunteering to put together the perfect way to measure open source contributions. I await your largesse :-)

      :). Thank you for volunteering me in. My contribution would be most likely be around quantifying how open source helps/ enables end user, than who is contributing/ how much.

      You know what? There is a whole project @linuxfoundation around community metrics - CHAOSS. With some wonderful projects like GrimoireLab to pull out real metrics (https://chaoss.github.io/grimoirelab/ ) Simply looking at Github doesn’t show what’s actually happening in open source as a whole.

          Sounds good yet I've seen nothing emerge from it. Does no one use this because it's not yet ready or because few yet know about it?

          a bit of both…i suspect. Might be fun in say a months time, to run the same kind of analysis you just did, but in Grimoire/CHAOSS to see how (or if..) the results differ.

          I have yet to see anyone do a good job of analyzing this space, and would love to see @sogrady from #RedMonk put some cycles against this, like what they do for tracking the popularity of software languages. #IMHO
