Title: Bitcoin's Development History (Video)
Post by: enmaku on January 09, 2012, 11:25:35 PM
Found an awesome bit of software called Gource (http://code.google.com/p/gource/) that creates a video timeline of development history from the changelog of a Git/SVN project and of course the first thing I pointed it at was Bitcoin's GitHub repo (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin).

Video (and a short writeup of the video) can be found at:

http://codinginmysleep.com/2012/01/bitcoin-development-history-visually/ (http://codinginmysleep.com/2012/01/bitcoin-development-history-visually/)

Points of interest include 1:57, the first appearance of Gavin Andresen (July 2010) and a furious explosion of development at 4:27 (April 2011).

Enjoy!

It's a pretty cool project. My only major criticism is that it takes some doing to get video out of it in any usable format without filling your hard disk to the brim, processing, reprocessing and encoding, but it renders using OpenGL so I just fired up a copy of FRAPS.

Without understanding the details, even I can see there is a lot of evolving going on that is making Bitcoin something wonderful.

If you play it in reverse it looks like Satoshi cleaning his house after a big internet party.

Something interesting in the video is the first person seen tweaking the code, username sirius-m.

Looking at the developer page, this user is listed 3rd.  How come sirius-m is seen messing with code before Satoshi?

cause he created the github repo nad migrated code from sourceforge. Look at the dates and read old forum posts, it started at almost a year after bitcoin was launched.
