This past week we saw 15 new contributors (https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/graphs/contributors) to Kubernetes (https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform) , growing to 283! This indicates our forecast of 1-2 new contribs / day was conservative! It’s exciting to see an average of 10-15 new contributors per week. At this rate, Kubernetes will have as many contributors as Docker (850+) by the end of 2015!
