Distribuição Geográfica e Atividades em Projetos Open Source: Um Estudo Exploratório

Abstract

This work investigates the geographic distribution of contributors and activity types in the HyDE open source repository. Using data restored from RepoInsights into a local MongoDB instance, we analyzed seven interaction types and aggregated them by country. The results show that technical activities (commits and pull requests) are highly concentrated in a few countries, while social interactions (stargazers and reactions) are more globally distributed. Nonparametric statistical tests confirm significant differences between activity types. Weak but significant correlations were found between contribution volume, English proficiency, and Human Development Index. The study offers insights into geographic inequalities in OSS participation.
