What timezone does that data in the daily and hourly graphs reflect?

imbriaco3• 12 years ago

US/Pacific I believe.

jessaustin• 12 years ago

If it's like most other parts of Github, it's based on the timezone recorded for each particular commit. That is, if you're in PST while I'm in CST (or at least our respective development environments think that) and we make a commit simultaneously, your commit activity will "occur" two hours before mine.

Github is a global company, so it would be surprising to see such a perfect "working day" profile on that graph if local timezone were not taken into account.

brown9-22• 12 years ago

Agreed that would be the ideal way to present the data, but was curious if that was really the case since the pushes start climbing at 7am and fall off at 3pm.

Kudos to the coders who built this interactive Infographic. Very impressive.

fidz• 12 years ago

I wonder how they make the globe

rayshan• 12 years ago

Looks like they're using a custom D3 build.

lelandbatey• 12 years ago

I was stoked to see some events I love up there on the Community page.

Whooo CodeDay! http://codeday.org/

One thing on this that surprises me is that the Rust repo has the second highest number of issues closed out of any repo on github, after homebrew.

idProQuo• 12 years ago

While I'm sure this does indicate that the Rust guys are pretty industrious, I feel like judging a project by how many issues it's closed is like judging it by how many lines of code it has.

kibwen• 12 years ago

I'm not sure if it's much of a compliment, but it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that we have a lot of bugs. :) I guess the good news is that we're apparently working damn hard to squash them!

octo_t2• 12 years ago

closing issues is good!! you guys work really hard and rust is awesome!

its cool to see a language being iterated on so publicly :)

midas0073• 12 years ago

Wow, github is all mostly grown up now. Hundred staff or so.

Three 🍻 (:beers:) !

imbriaco3• 12 years ago

We actually have more like 238 Hubbers. You can see us at https://github.com/humans.txt or https://github.com/about/team.

rikf• 12 years ago

It seems like only the early employees get cool nickname I thought github has an eglatarian culture?

midas0073• 12 years ago

Nice! :)

Are there still the team sports leagues with/between other shops?

bennyg3• 12 years ago

It's so sad to see meet ups and drink-ups from every state surrounding Alabama, but not actually in Alabama. I take great pride from being in this state my entire life, and I'd like to start something here.

jbarnette2• 12 years ago

I wouldn't be surprised if a few GitHubbers dropped by Huntsville sometime this summer. Watch the blog.

bennyg3• 12 years ago

That would be awesome. I'm originally from Huntsville but in Birmingham right now - I might try to organize some sort of unofficial deal here. There's a surprising amount of hackers and makers here from what I've seen around the internet and talks with my coworkers (just moved to bham).

prawks2• 12 years ago

I was surprised to see a drink-up on their map in Portland, ME (where I am), however it was actually for OSCON in the other Portland, in OR.

Bummer :(

larkinrichards• 12 years ago

A lot of people(airbnb comes to mind) doing these now, cool to see one from GitHub.

I don't know if there is a bug with the globe but that seemed pretty weak to me-- not enough data and random points get highlighted. Anyone else find it a little lacking-- kind of like a silly "let's include a d3 globe just cause we can"?

qq66• 12 years ago

These graphics/charts are beautiful. Any more details on how they were made?

gulbrandr• 12 years ago

The data seems to be coming from these URLs:

and displayed with d3.js (see http://octoverse.github.com/javascripts/all.js)
