<div>Using the git-hub commandline Git command for
GitHub ( <a moz-do-not-send="true"

these leaders have: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

It looks like 288 is lowest number of followers, so we
should be able to get Kent there easily. (He's at 54
now -- `git hub user kentfredric`).<br>

Cheers, Ingy<br>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">I don’t
normally send out messages like this, but I
think this is worthwhile, because it is a
simple way we can promote our beloved Perl to
the larger OSS world, even if just a little…
<div>

</div>
<div>I came across our very own Kent Fredric’s
GitHub profile today and did a double-take
when I read his contrib stats:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/kentfredric"
target="_blank">https://github.com/kentfredric</a>
# "Year of contributions - 21,996
total”</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Without even speculating by what kind of
dedication/witchcraft this number is even
possible, it made me curious about stats in
general for GitHub, and some googling turned
up this page:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://git.io/top" target="_blank">http://git.io/top</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is a report of the “Most Active” 256
GitHub users. Well, not quite… The current
number 1 on the list has HALF the contribs
(kevinsawicki at “11,430”). kentfredric
doesn’t show up because of this second
caveat: "Only first 1000 GitHub users
according to the count of followers are
taken. This is because of limitations of
GitHub search.” </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, it seems all we need to do is have a
few hundred people follow kentfredric (based
on followers counts of others who did make
the list) and the next time this report is
generated, Kent, and thus Perl, will take
over the number 1 slot — and by a commanding
margin (as it should be) — and dethroning
JavaScript.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently, Perl is very poorly
represented, with just a handful of our
luminaries showing up (with the first not
coming until #40).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m not sure how important this
report/page actually is, but, I figure, why
not if it is this easy! kentnl has already
quietly done the hard part by somehow
managing to average over **60** GitHub
contributions per day, every day, for at
least the past 365 days. All we have to do
it make 2 clicks of the mouse, and tell our
coworkers to do the same. It seems like we
can make this happen in a blink of an eye…</div>
