social network of our community
Hi folks,
I have done some work lately to analyze the communication within our community. I sued some social network analysis principles to draw pretty pictures :)
I find them very interesting so I posted a work in progress blog about it:
http://sebgoa.blogspot.ch/2013/01/social-network-analysis-of-apache.html
Check it out and let me know what you think. I removed email addresses in the picture and kept "first names". My intent is not to put the spotlight on anyone in particular but really to see how we communicate.
PS: Specifically I'd like to be able to provide information for new comers so that they know who is active in the community. Also I am trying to answer the question of who to ask about a particular topic.
Cheers,
-Sebastien

I used the mailing lists archived. Grouped things by threads and checked who participated in the thread.
Everytime two people appear in a thread I create a connection between the two.
The size of the nodes depend on their "centrality", which means that a big node is often used in a path between two "small" nodes.
The font size is proportional to the node size.
The color coding is something I am still working on, it is supposed to show groups within the communities. Ideally a group that works on say KVM would show up in a given color. A group that works on "docs" in another color. A group of developer that works in the same office and tend to answer each other emails than others could show up as a group. But it's far from perfect.
Glad you liked it,

Sebestian - interesting graph :) maybe you can add this to Joe's blog.
Can you tell me what do the colors stand for currently - you mentioned
something related to sub-communities ?
