A Data Analysis Approach for Contribution-Centric Open Source Strategy Planning
summary
Sony applies OSCI by EPAM to GitHub commit logs, filtering contributors by corporate email and counting active contributors as 10+ commits/year. Analysis limits include a 300-company list reduced to ~10 for the POC and a one-month snapshot, but results show outside-contributor rates of 2–15% for leading companies and consider 5–10% as a successful external uptake. Tools are open source, modifications are upstreamed, and known gaps are bots, private emails, and non-GitHub projects.
