Joey Hess posted a +draft +of a code_swarm video for d-i +a couple of weeks ago, which reminded me that I've been meaning to do +something similar for Ubuntu for a while now as it's just about our +archive's fifth birthday. I have a more or less complete archive of all our +-changes mailing lists locally (I think I'm missing some of the very early +ones, before the end of July 2004; let me know if you were one of the very +early Canonical employees and have a record of these), and with the aid of +launchpadlib it's +fairly easy to map all the e-mail addresses into Launchpad user names, +massage out some of the more obvious duplicates, and then treat the stream +of uploads as if it were a stream of commits.
+ +If you haven't seen code_swarm before, each dot represents an upload, and +the dots "swarm" around their corresponding committers' names; more active +committers have larger swarms of dots and brighter names. I assigned a +colour to each of our archive components (uploads aren't really at the C +code vs. Python code vs. translations vs. whatever kind of granularity that +you see in other code_swarm videos), which mostly means that people who +predominantly upload to main are in roughly an Ubuntu tan colour, people who +predominantly upload to universe are coloured bluish, and people with a good +mixture tend to come out coloured green. If I get a bit more time I may try +to figure out enough about video editing software to add some captions.
+ +Here's the +video.
