Hello! I'm writing my thesis in human geography about the distribution of developers in free software projects. I'm looking into two projects, Debian and the Linux Kernel, from which I'll track the locations of the developers. I'm just trying to get a picture of the tendencies of the locations, i.e I'm not aiming for a complete documentation of all developers.
Now, for achieving this, I've been looking into the developer coordinates on the developers corner on the Debian website, and I have a couple of questions regarding that. First, how many developers are there in the Debian project? (I've looked around on the website for a while, but not found it, maybe I'm just a bad searcher...). I'm also wondering how "up to date" the coordinates are, I've noticed that the list has grown since I first had a look at it. // Regards, Simon Kågström
