After receiving some amazing entries<\/a> in the previous challenge, we were excited to see what people would discover with another year of data. The results blew us away: we saw many more entrants and novel applications of our data. GitHubbers ranked their favorite entries, and after tallying the votes, we’re happy to announce the top 3 entries for the 2013 GitHub data challenge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The second place (Popular Convention<\/a> by Outsider<\/a>)\u00a0and third place (open source contributions by location<\/a>\u00a0by David Fischer<\/a>)\u00a0winners are very nice. \u00a0But the first place winner is truly amazing (The Open Source Report Card<\/a>, by Dan Foreman-Mackey<\/a>). \u00a0It’s an excellent combination of data crunching with beautiful presentation. \u00a0Of course, you’ll need some publicly visible repositories and contributions to see anything interesting, but once you do, it’s quite impressive. \u00a0Have a look at mine<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
