A few interesting facts:
New Zealand bumps from rank 7 to rank 3, thanks to one new active developer
Switzerland loses one developer and goes donw to rank 6
Norway also slightly goes down by losing one developer
With two more developers, Austria climbs up to rank 8 and
overtakes Germany...;-)
Hungary climbs a little bit by gaining one developer
Singapore doubles its number of developers from 1 to 2 and
bumps from 33 to 27
One rank up too for Poland that gained one developer
Down to rank 31 for Lithuania by losing one developer
Up to rank 32 for Greece with 4 developers instead of 3
Argentina goes up by havign two more developers (it lost 2 last year)
Up from 46 to 42 for Colombia by winning one more developer
One more developer and Russia climps from 49 to 48
One less for Venezuela that has only one developer left...:-(
No new country this year. Less movement towards "the universal OS"?
We have 12 more active Debian developers and 26 more developers
overall. Less progression than last year
The ratio of active developers increases is nearly stable though
slightly decreasing
