Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary The project analyzes the evolution of international open-source software collaboration networks on GitHub from 2008-2019.

Scope of Project

Geographic Coverage:  View help for Geographic Coverage International
Time Period(s):  View help for Time Period(s) 1/1/2008 – 12/1/2019 (Start of 2008 - End of 2019)
Collection Date(s):  View help for Collection Date(s) 1/1/2020 – 4/1/2020 (Data collected early 2020)
Universe:  View help for Universe Data derives from repositories posted on GitHub with an Open-Source Initiative (OSI) approved license created between January 2008 and the end of 2019.
Collection Notes:  View help for Collection Notes Data derives from repositories posted on GitHub with an Open-Source Initiative (OSI) approved license created between January 2008 and the end of 2019. The data was collected using the GHOST.jl package available at https://github.com/uva-bi-sdad/GHOST.jl. After scraping all of the commits from these repositories, edgelists were created for each cumulative year (2008, 2008-2009, 2008-2010, etc.) based on whether users made commits to the same project (i.e. all nodes are users and all edges are commits to a common repository). This data was then joined to a subset of GHTorrent's user data (with supplementary email data) to determine the country of the user based on location, organization, and/or email.
