Where does open source come from?
=================================
Sometimes a [picture](http://davidfischer.github.io/gdc2/) is worth a thousand
words.
This interactive visualization of the location of contributors to the
top repositories on GitHub was my entry to the
[GitHub Data Challenge](https://github.com/blog/1450-the-github-data-challenge-ii)
Developing
----------
The provided Makefile has everything needed to fetch data from
[GitHub Archive](http://githubarchive.org), load it into a database,
geocode locations and output the resulting JSON. It can even push
the results to GitHub pages.
There are also some interesting `queries` for doing things like fetching
top 200 repositories, gathering up all the relevant events or getting
the unique set of locations to geocode.
# This first step takes hours and downloads ~6.5GB
make githubarchive
# This step takes a few hours with decently fast disks
make loaddb
# This step geocodes any locations not already geocoded (`locations.json`)
make geocode
# Generate the `events.json` file used for the visualization
make jsonify
