I was there for 6 months over 10 years ago, does that count? I don't think

More than "being" in CA, I would say, how many of us have "been there" and
did the "Silicon Valley" thing... I'm saying that because I spent 2 years in
CA, and feel strongly related to that environment... Only thing is now I
live in London (UK)...

I'd be more interested to hear statistics on how many people are
California-based versus non-California based. (It would help me with my
research into Apache cultures and cliches ;-) for a paper I'm writing )

Carnegie Mellon did a survey of ~300 Apache developers (56 committers) a
while ago, and posted interim results to respondents last month. With the
permission of the researcher, here are some stats:

Strangely they didn't ask this. However, 90% of people come from what I
hazily regard as "English speaking countries" (US, England, Aus, NZ).

Nor did they ask these, missing a golden opportunity to come up with an
identikit-style portait of J Random Apache Hacker.
The person running the survey is Jeff Roberts (jroberts at

Sometimes you can take the whole 'open-source development, get involved'
