Abstract
Github is a central repository where developers can share code with others. This allows for the development of OSS projects that are used to develop various blockchain models either for crypto or similar usage like NFTs. The impact that various funding and governance models of OSS projects have on Github development activities like commit ratios is currently an area of active research. As a part of a larger effort to understand more about these impacts, data collection and analysis of 20 OSS projects was conducted. Tools such as Google Big Query(GBQ) were used to process over 20 TB of data per project. Much of the data was split and merged as necessary using a python script. The compiled events and attributions of the 20 OSS projects are part of a larger effort of over 600 projects that are ready for further analysis. This will determine whether there is a correlation between the project model and github activities.
This abstract is part of a collection in which the overarching large project under Dr. Jiasun Li was subdivided into discrete critical tasks that were carried out by multiple individuals or smaller teams. Abstracts in this collection read similarly given the shared project goals, but represent distinct tasks completed by the abstract authors towards finalizing the described analysis.
