-Today, we welcome and celebrate for over 200 code contributors of our single
main repo. We have passed 200 contributors and 200 code contributors long time
ago, even can't set an accurate date. But this time, we could have the exact
date. **Jan. 20th 2020**.

-At this great moment, I would like to share SKyWalking 4 years open source
journey.
+At this great moment, I would like to share SkyWalking’s 4-year open source
journey.
-I wrote the first line at Nov 1st, 2015, for guiding people to understand
distributed system, as at that time, micro-service and distributed architecture
became popular.
-In the first 2 years, I never thought it would become a such big and active
community, even I didn't think it would be a really open source project.
-The target used to be teaching about distributed tracing and analysis only.
-With in 2015-2017 to be a normal and obscurity open source project,
-people still showed up, asked questions, tried to improve the project, I got
several invitations to share the project at local meetups.
-All these made me realized people really need a good open source APM project.
It was still a blank.
+I wrote the first line on Nov. 1st, 2015, guiding people to understand a
distributed system just as micro-services and distributed architecture were
becoming popular.
+In the first 2 years, I never thought it would become such a big and active
community. I didn’t even expect it would be an open source project.
+Initially, the goal was primarily to teach others about distributed tracing
and analysis.
-At 2017, I decided to dedicate as much as possible to make the project
successful, even made this as my day job. But to be honest, I had no clue about
how to do that, because at 2017's China, there was rare to have this kind of
job.
-So, I began to ask friends around me, `Do you want to collaborate the open
source APM with me?`. Clearly, most are **NO**, as people are busy, but 2 of
them accepted to help, Xin Zhang and Yongsheng Peng. That was the time we built
the SkyWalking 3.x. We shared the 3.2 release at GOPS Shanghai, China. It
became the first adoption version using in the production environment.
-Comparing to today's SkyWalking, it just liked a prototype and toy, but it had
the same tracing design, protocol and analysis method.
+It was a typical open source project in obscurity in its first two years. But
+people still showed up, asked questions, and tried to improve the project. I
got several invitations to share the project at local meetups.All these made me
realize people really needed a good open source APM project.
-In the whole year of 2017, the contributor team of the project has 15-20, but
we only have limited time on the project. Then I began to consider bringing the
project into worldwide and top-level the open source foundation. Appriciate our
initial incubator mentors, Michael Semb Wever, William Jiang, Luke Han, this
really worked.
-In 2017, SkyWalking joined the Apache Incubator, and keeps following the
Apache Way to build community. More contributors joined the community.
-With more people spend time on the project collaborations, including codes,
tests, blogs, conference talks, books and use the project. The chemical
reaction happens. New developers begin to provide bug fix, new feature
requirement and new proposal.
-At the moment of the graduation around Mar. 2019, the project had 100
contributors. Right now, in 9 months, it hits the 200 super quickly. They
enhance th project and extend the project to the landscape we never imaged, 5
popular language agents, service mesh adoption, CLI tool, super cool
visualization. We are even moving on thread profiling, browser performance and
nginx tracing NOW.

-In the whole 4+ years open source journey, we have supports from the people in
the tracing open source community around the world, including Adrian Cole,
William Jiang, Luke Han, Michael Semb Wever, Ben Sigelman, Jonah Kowall and
more, and foundations' help, especially Apache Software Foundation and Cloud
Native Computing Foundation.
-Our contributors also have their supports from their employers, as far as I
known, Alibaba, Huawei, China Mobile, ke.com, DaoCloud, Lizhi.fm, Yonghui Super
market, dangdang.com. Personally, I have supports from my employers,
[tetrate.io](https://www.tetrate.io/), Huawei, OneAPM.
+It became the first adoption version used in production
-Thanks our over 200 contributors and companies behind them. You make this
magic happens.
