Determine number of volunteers in 2014/2015

[henare]

From @kat: We count:

• everyone who's put in a request at righttoknow
• everyone who's uploaded an election leaflet
• code contributors to all projects
• hackfest participants

everyone who's put in a request at righttoknow

deploy@kedumba:/srv/www/www.righttoknow.org.au/current$ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails console
Loading production environment (Rails 3.2.21)

everyone who's uploaded an election leaflet

There were 114 leaflets uploaded for the Victorian State Election 2014 by 22 people. I manually extracted this from the database.

code contributors to all projects

This command can get the number of unique contributors during the year:

git log --format="%an" --after=2014-07-01 --before=2015-06-30 | sort -u | wc -l

To get unique people across all the projects I ran that without the wc command on each major repository and appended it to a text file. I then piped that to sort -u | wc -l to get the unique contributors:

24

That's almost certainly undercounting because it misses the contributors to PlanningAlerts scrapers, for one.

hackfest participants

There were 40 people registered for the GLOW hackfest that happened during 2014/2015.

There were about 10 people at Luke's scraping hackfest.

And we also had about 15 people at the GoogleServe hackfest.

Adding all those numbers up (yes, there will be overlap) gives us 360 people.
