Just saw Github CEO Chris Wanstrath deceptively hail Microsoft for having the most outside contributors... from his slides:

- 16,419 Microsoft

- 15,682 Facebook

- 14,059 Docker

- 12,841 Angular (Google)

- 12,140 Google

Makes me wonder whether he's included React in the Facebook numbers...

Yes, it's included. Remember Microsoft has VSCode, Typescript, .Net, Cognitive Toolkit and more on Github. Google would be #1 if Angular was hosted under the Google org.

I remember first seeing these stats in Github's infographic which they released a month or two ago: https://octoverse.github.com/

It has to be right? Why would Github be so inclined to lean towards Microsoft over Facebook.

e: just doesn't follow that they have enough of a vested interest in msft to be deceptive.

What's the deception?
