Open Source Code Contribution Visualization
Posted on June 13, 2008
This stunning visualization of of code contribution to an open source project (Python) is not only a stunning display of colors and motion. The video starts with one contributor for the longest time. The code is completely circling him and there is no other input. There is so much effort put into the project over such a long period of time before any other contributors were introduced. Once other contributors come about, their additions are few and far between. The little contributions slowly start to build up and accelerate until they become a full stream and eventually eclipse the original person who started the project.
The fact that one person took so long to build it is a testament that open source projects are in fact very similar to our businesses. Someone out there is putting in a lot of effort, working toward a vision, and is dedicated to the goal. Businesses aren’t an over-night success with a grand opening event, they are a consistent challenge to the owner to acquire customers and keep the bottom line low.
