Back in 2009, I did some analysis of the number of developers per country . Apparently, some people at DebConf remember this and asked if I could update this data.

So, here we are with the 2010 version, sorted by the ratio of *active* developers per million population for each country.

Act: number of active developers Dev: total number of developers A/M: number of active devels per million pop. D/M: number of devels per million pop. 2009: rank in 2009 2010: rank in 2010 Code Name Population Act Dev A/M D/M 2009 2010 fi Finland 5359538 21 32 3,92 5,97 1 1 ch Switzerland 7782900 22 26 2,83 3,34 2 2 nz New Zealand 4386207 11 15 2,51 3,42 4 3 no Norway 4895500 11 14 2,25 2,86 5 4 lu Luxemburg 502202 1 1 1,99 1,99 8 5 se Sweden 9354462 18 34 1,92 3,63 3 6 de Germany 81757600 148 212 1,81 2,59 7 7 at Austria 8356707 14 23 1,68 2,75 6 8 ie Ireland 6197100 9 12 1,45 1,94 13 9 au Australia 22413132 32 56 1,43 2,5 9 10 be Belgium 10827519 14 16 1,29 1,48 10 11 fr France 65447374 84 112 1,28 1,71 12 12 nl Netherlands 16607943 20 38 1,2 2,29 11 13 uk United-Kingdom 62041708 64 102 1,03 1,64 14 14 ca Canada 34199000 27 56 0,79 1,64 15 15 es Spain 46030109 34 52 0,74 1,13 16 16 dk Denmark 5540241 4 8 0,72 1,44 17 17 hr Croatia 4489409 3 3 0,67 0,67 20 18 lt Lithuania 3341966 2 2 0,6 0,6 28 19 cz Czech Rep 10506813 6 6 0,57 0,57 21 20 us USA 309913000 165 360 0,53 1,16 19 21 it Italy 60231214 32 46 0,53 0,76 23 22 bg Bulgaria 7563710 4 4 0,53 0,53 25 23 il Israel 7602400 4 6 0,53 0,79 24 24 hu Hungary 10005000 5 11 0,5 1,1 18 25 lv Latvia 2217969 1 2 0,45 0,9 26 26 uy Uruguay 3494382 1 2 0,29 0,57 22 27 jp Japan 127420000 32 45 0,25 0,35 30 28 pl Poland 38192000 9 13 0,24 0,34 29 29 cr Costa Rica 4253897 1 1 0,24 0,24 31 30 sk Slovakia 5379455 1 1 0,19 0,19 32 31 pt Portugal 11317192 2 4 0,18 0,35 27 32 ar Argentina 40134425 6 8 0,15 0,2 34 33 tw Taiwan 23119772 3 3 0,13 0,13 37 34 br Brazil 192272890 20 21 0,1 0,11 36 35 by Belarus 9648533 1 1 0,1 0,1 35 36 mg Madagascar 20653556 2 2 0,1 0,1 44 37 gr Greece 11306183 1 3 0,09 0,27 33 38 kr South Korea 48758000 4 6 0,08 0,12 39 39 ec Ecuador 14790608 1 1 0,07 0,07 40 cl Chile 17063000 1 2 0,06 0,12 42 41 ru Russia 141927297 7 8 0,05 0,06 43 42 ro Romania 22215421 1 2 0,05 0,09 45 43 co Colombia 45393050 2 3 0,04 0,07 41 44 ve Venezuela 26814843 1 1 0,04 0,04 40 45 pe Peru 29461933 1 1 0,03 0,03 46 46 tr Turkey 72561312 2 2 0,03 0,03 47 47 za South Africa 49991300 1 8 0,02 0,16 38 48 mx Mexico 111211789 2 2 0,02 0,02 49 49 th Thailand 66404688 1 2 0,02 0,03 50 50 eg Egypt 78737000 1 2 0,01 0,03 51 51 in India 1184344000 7 7 0,01 0,01 52 52 cn China 1338612968 6 10 0 0,01 53 53 ua Ukraine 45888000 0 0 0 0 48 54 873 1410 61,91%

We now have 62% of active DDs while we had 73% last year. This year's campaign of MIA work has been somehow "successful", apparently

No earthquake happened in Finland and there hasn't been a huge increase in DD birth in Switzerland, so the first two stay the same. And Luxembourg didn't have a second DD to beat this.

Sweden lost many active DDs and is no longer close to Switzerland.

New Zealand made its way in the top 3. I want them to make a special haka for this

Ireland won 4 places and is now in the top 10. Thanks for their 3 new active DDs

And France still hasn't kicked Belgium's ass. Maybe will we win when the country splits out?

A few interesting facts:
