" summary

Facebook reboots its open source program and now runs 235 projects with over 10 million lines of code, 150k stars and 26k forks. A GitHub API + MySQL pipeline syncs repo metadata every minute, feeding dashboards and owner audits; tracked metrics are followers, forks, PR age, issue age and external commit ratio. Average pull request age falls from ~1 year to under 3 months; kernel contributions jump from 6 commits in 2013 to 229 in 2014. Teams use gamification and explicit handoff rules to sustain communities.
