A Historical Dataset for the Gnome Ecosystem

We present a dataset of the open source software ecosystem Gnome from a social point of view. We have collected historical data about the contributors to all Gnome projects stored on git.gnome.org, taking into account the problem of identity matching, and associating different activity types to the contributors. This type of information is very useful to complement the traditional, source-code related information one can obtain by mining and analyzing the actual source code. The dataset can be obtained at https://bitbucket.org/mgoeminne/sgl-flossmetric-dbmerge.
