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).
- lawl 10y agoThat 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.
- Flenser 10y agoMicrosoft 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)
