Where do Debian Developers Come From? (Linux Journal) [LWN.net]

Linux Journal covers a study by Christian Perrier on where Debian developers come from. "The land that gave the world Linus [Torvalds] also gives the world the most Debian developers per million population. Ranked number one last year as well, Finland is home to 3.92 active developers per one million souls. In second place is Switzerland with 2.83 per million. New Zealand holds a very respectable third place with 2.51 per million. The United Kingdom beats out the United States with their 1.03 developers per million to .53. In last place is the Ukraine, China, and India. Making their first showing this year is Ecuador with one new developer or .07 developers per million people. Sweden, who ranked third last year, fell to sixth this year. Ireland has gained three new developers bringing their total to nine which allows them to hold ninth place, up from 13."

Last place should be all the countries with zero developers per million. ;-)
