Evans, I too disagree with the 40 million figure. However, before you make your null hypothesis you are also bound to the same rules you have prescribed to Aki. Over and above the establishment of numbers, you also need definitions. What is your definition of an OSS developer? On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 11:22 AM, Evans Ikua <ikua.evans@gmail.com> wrote:
Aki, Thats not the way you look at Statistics. There are not 40 Million developers or IT people in Kenya. First of all you will need to do a thorough study to establish the number of developers in Kenya. Then determine how many develop on OSS. And this is different from contributing code to the global OSS community. My null hypothesis is that there are more OSS developers in Kenya than there are on proprietary platforms.

Hi all, just to add my thots, though from a novice view. So far we have just managed to name about 10 developers in a population of 40million+ . I think there is a huge problem with this imbalance.
