A Gource visualization showing the history of Linux kernel development and contributor commits from 1991 to 2015.
Watch Linux kernel developers shoot laser beams of code goodness into the source code tree! This is a gource video of the last 24 years of development. I highly recommend watching the 1080p version unless you have extraordinary eyesight. The video begins with v0.01 and ends with v4.0. Note: Commits before the adoption of BitKeeper are (incorrectly) attributed to Linus Torvalds due to the lack of attribution information. Unlike the previous video, dates should be more or less correct here.Why it's here

On “I've been obsessed with this tree of life since I started my biology degree, long before I discovered programming. Each tiny outer branch still contains at least 500 species in it. Could something like this be created for .NET libraries?? Would make a sweet poster!”
I picture something similar to this video about the Linux kernel development over the years, maybe?
