Hi,

Extrapolating the trendline from the first 3 weekends would have come to a very similar result.

I am afraid there is no actual statistical proof that claims that the increase was caused by FOSDEM.

I would actually expect a slight decrease to be honest (all developers watching talks instead of actually coding). and maybe a delayed effect in a few days / weeks that would show an increase.

Intresting would also be to look only at the repos that were (slightly) related to people /rpojects that were actually on FOSDEM (impossible to do I guess)

Sorry to spoil the enthousiasm here :)

On Sunday someone asked during the FOSDEM Lightning Talk QA if there was an increase in contributions during the FOSDEM weekend so I wrote this small script that queries the GitHub Archive and shows the number of PRs opened during each weekend in 2016.

Apparently, there **was** an increase in contributions to open source during FOSDEM, well done! :D
