[1] <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.perrier.eu.org/weblog/2013/07/27#devel-countries-201307">http://www.perrier.eu.org/weblog/2013/07/27#devel-countries-201307</a> First, let's see how the number of active developers and population are really related. The correlation coefficients are: 0.10 (2013), 0.09 (2012), 0.09 (2011), 0.08 (2010). Very low, unfortunately. But it was predictable... Next, let's analyse how the number of developers in country is depended on standard of living. GDP [2] per capita (based on International Monetary Fund figures [3] for 2012) is chosen as an indicator of the standard of living. This ratio can be interpreted as a conditional measure the effectiveness of the country in the field of Debian development. (In other words, how much money is needed for production or for attracting a single Debian developer in given country). Or it can be interpreted as a response to the question "where Debian developers live well". (If we assume, that Debian developers may move freely, they should be concentrated in places with the best conditions for their life). This is not my idea to use GDP for statistic analysis [4], but I found it quite attractive. So all data were re-calculated and this note was prepared.

Really impressive! * There are no reliable GDP data for Martinique, it is a part of France from financial point of view. This DD might be added to France, but I preferred to drop this string. I am sorry, David, you were not counted. * China and Mexico are in the end of list. In order to "create" one DD these countries should "work" arduously in 120 and 160 times more than Finland. The correlation coefficients between the number of active developers and GDP: 0.60 (2013), 0.60 (2012). Hey, it looks much better! Make conclusions on your own. =) Best wishes, Boris PS: This is not a refutation of Christian's article, but an addition to it.
