The Challenge

Successful Open Source projects are often a result of vibrant communities. Over the years, Drupal has evolved into one such ecosystem where people “come for the code & stay for the community.”



This contest is about showcasing the Drupal story. In an interactive and visual manner. We are inviting contestants to explore all data provided by Drupal.org at https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/api and create interactive visualizations that could throw up interesting insights into the growth and adoption of Drupal over the years.



The winning entrant shall win Royal Enfield Classic* motorcycle.






Ideas



The Drupal.org API exposes data points through the 'Node API' which provides data about content types like theme, projects, project_issue and distributions. Similarly, the 'User API' provides information about user registrations and details about user. User interactions like comments and when the comments were made can be fetched from the 'Comments API'. We would like you to explore all available APIs and data points for more such details.



For example, a few possible visualizations (and, you need not limit yourself to these alone) could include:



Visualization of the growth and adoption of Drupal across the various countries over the years.
Visualization of the demographies of users on drupal.org Visualization of user participation and organization of various Drupal Camps over the years.
Visualization of areas of expertise of registered users on Drupal.org
Visualization of the number of case-studies published over time, across geographies on Drupal.org.
Visualization of the top one hundred projects by number of downloads.

As mentioned, the above list is merely suggestive of possible visualizations. We would like you to explore more such ideas that could be relevant and meaningful..
