Every single line of code in the Linux kernel has an author. In fact, every single token in the code has an author. And thanks to researchers such as Daniel German, methodologies have been developed to trace that detailed authorship information. Using those methodologies, we have build a dashboard to learn and drill down on who wrote what. The talk will present that dashboard, and will show how it can be produced using open source technologies (Python tools, ElasticSearch, Kibana, etc.)
