maybe fred has better statistics, but a think a total of around 150 - 200 FOSS contributors in a country of our size is demeaning ...
I was speaking to Sanjiva who heads the Lanka Software Foundation and they said that Sri Lanka now has 50 committers to Apache of whom 25 are active. I would assume that most of the Indian names on the list of Apache Committers are NRIs.
If anyone can explain why there are so few Indians "uploading" to FOSS projects and what can be done to better the situation, I would be most interested in hearing them.
