What's trending in the world of GitHub and Open Source?

GitHub has a trove of information about its organizations, committers, repos, code and issues.

GitHub Archive maintains per-hour stats on 28 event types hooking into repo activities across the platform.  It includes things like a committers login, url, organization, followers, gists, starred repos, and a history of all your public coding activity.

The October 2016 archive table is 29M rows and 70GB of data.

In September 2016, Microsoft became the largest "open-source" contributor organization on Github, largely due to its custom API integration using Azure Services and rather elegant management system for its employees and repos.   If you can onboard all developers in a company the size of Microsoft, and automate repository setup and discovery, you will quickly become the largest contributor.

Microsoft beat out , Docker, Angular, Google, Atom, FortAwesome, Elastic, and even Apache.
