Open Source Contributor Index (OSCI)

OSCI, an open source project, aiming to track and measure open source activity on GitHub by commercial organizations. It allows organizations, communities, analysts and individuals involved in Open Source to get insights about contribution trends among commercial organizations by providing access to up-to-date data through an intuitive interface.

How does OSCI work?

To create this index, the system processes GitHub push events data from GH Archive:

OSCI tracks two measures at each organization:

• Active contributors, the number of people who authored 10 or more commits over a period of time
• Total community, the number of people who made at least one commit over a period of time

How are commit authors linked to commercial organizations?

The system uses email domain of the commit author to identify the organization. Your organization is missing in the ranking? Feel free to add your organization to the list.

Note: OSCI does not rank open source activity contributed by universities, research institutions and individual entrepreneurs.

How can I submit my company for ranking?

1. Check whether the organization you propose to add matches OSCI definition:

   • not an educational, governmental, non-profit or research institution;
   • registered, commercial organization;
   • sells goods or services for the purpose of making a profit.

2. Create a new pull request.

3. Go to company domain match list (company_domain_match_list.yaml)

4. Double check that the organization you want to add is not listed.

5. Add the email domain of the company and the company name to the table. For example:

   - company: Facebook
     domains:
       - fb.com
     regex:

6. If the company has more than 1 email domain for its employees, add all of them to block domains (or regex for using regular expression). For example:

   - company: Facebook
     domains:
       - fb.com
       - facebook.com
     regex:
       - ^.*\.fb\.com$
       - ^.*\.facebook\.com$

7. Select the industry to which your company belongs from the following list:

   • Automotive;
   • Banking, Insurance & Financial Services;
   • Education;
   • Energy & Utilities;
   • Entertainment;
   • Healthcare and Pharma;
   • Professional Services;
   • Public Sector;
   • Retail & Hospitality;
   • Technology;
   • Media & Telecoms;
   • Travel & Transport;
   • Other (please specify);

   For example:

   - company: Facebook
     domains:
       - fb.com
       - facebook.com
     regex:
       - ^.*\.fb\.com$
       - ^.*\.facebook\.com$
     industry: Media & Telecoms

Our team will review your pull request and merge it if everything is correct.

Note: since OSCI processes the data for the previous month, you'll see your organization's rank in the beginning of the next month.

2. Go to project directory

        cd OSCI

3. Install requirements

        pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Create a file local.yml (by default this file added to .gitignore) in the directory osci/config/files. A sample file default.yml is included, please don't change values in this file
