Github Globe\n\nThis is a little visualization of Github users throughout the world.\nCheck out an interactive version at [http://aasen.in/github_globe](http://aasen.in/github_globe)\n\n![github users plotted on a globe](http://i.imgur.com/wHeJ9wG.png)\n\n## Creating the Visualization\n\nAll data is provided by [GitHub Archive](http://www.githubarchive.org/)\nand fetched via [Google BigQuery](https://developers.google.com/bigquery/).\n\nLocations are provided by approximately 1 million of the 4 million GitHub users.\nThey are written in an informal syntax with varying specificity.\nFor example, `Seattle`, `Seattle, WA` and `United States` are all valid.\n\nThe 1,000 most common locations are passed through the [Google Geocoding API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/)\nand transformed into geographical coordinates.\n\nData is then grouped by coordinates, so `San Francisco`, `San Francisco, CA`, and `San Fran` are combined.\n\nFinally, data is plotted on the [WebGL Globe](http://code.google.com/p/webgl-globe/).\n\n## Anatomy of the Repo\n\nAll queries are stored in `master/fetch`.\n\nCode to transform the data is in `master/transform`.\n\nThe visualization and WebGL globe are stored in the `gh-pages` branch.\n\n## Problems\n\nOne problem is that locations vary in specificity.\nMany people report only their country and leave out states, cities, and other identifiers.\n\nTo solve this, I could calculate the specificity of an address and leave out any broad locations\nlike `China`, `America`, and `California`.\nHowever, since this would skew the data I decided not to.\nIf you disagree, [fork it](http://github.com/aaasen/github_globe/fork)!\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fchengjun%2Fglobe","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fchengjun%2Fglobe","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fchengjun%2Fglobe/lists"}
