Quantitative Method for Open Source Contribution Value and Its Impa...
summary
Sony quantifies open source impact by mining GitHub with OSCI/OSCA analysis and company-level contributor maps, defining dedicated developers as 10 months and 40 commits/year. Analysis shows a big mismatch between sales/profit and contribution focus, Sony mainly contributing to IoT, cloud, network and contents, while Meta shows 36 dedicated PyTorch developers versus ~38 across other firms. Executive briefings with these numbers trigger business‑plan integration and targeted semiconductor and engineering engagement, though gaps remain.
