It's funny how in their breakdown of "organisations with the most open source contributors" they split up google and angular. Now I'm sure there's some overlap

  That chart comes from the GitHub Octoverse site (https://octoverse.github.com/ https://octoverse.github.com/), and reflects GitHub Organizations (e.g. https://github.com/microsoft/ https://github.com/microsoft/). The Angular and Google entries each represent their own Organization (https://github.com/angular https://github.com/angular and https://github.com/google https://github.com/google).

    That doesn't change anything. The metric is useless in the context presented by Microsoft. It was picked because MS ranked on top on this one. That's what I already implied in the original post. How you structure your team(s) on GitHub has nothing to do with your "commitment to opensource" or whatever your marketing phrase is.

      Microsoft has several other github organisations, so they weren't representing the total "company" contributors for themselves either. e.g.: They have separate github organisations for: https://github.com/Azure https://github.com/Azure https://github.com/PowerShell https://github.com/PowerShell https://github.com/aspnet https://github.com/aspnet https://github.com/dotnet https://github.com/dotnet (and many more smaller orgs as well, as I'm sure google do too)

  Microsoft has tons of other orgs besides /Microsoft. For example https://github.com/Azure https://github.com/Azure
