Abstract
We analyzed the gnome family of systems with the small project observatory, our online ecosystem visualization platform. We begin by briefly introducing the model of SPO. We then observe and discuss several phases in the activity of the gnome ecosystem. We follow and look at how the contributors are distributed between writing source code and doing other activities such as internationalization. We end with a visual overview of the activity of more than 900 contributors in the 10 years of existence of gnome.
