    Incredible. Have you compared this evolutionary fractal, to any other fractals occuring in nature i.e...gravitational forces in star clusters, or movements in bee colonies.
    Sorry, forgive me, never mind, I'm sure this took more than enough of your time!
    Again great work. A picture is truelly worth a thousand words, maybe in this case millions of words.

    Thanks. No, I haven't. My research is mostly in software visualization. But that would be interesting to compare collaboration in open source development to natural processes. Some software engineering researchers may be doing that already, but so far not through visualization.

    Beautiful visualization. To clarify, can you post which CC license the song is under, and whether or not your video is also CC licensed? I think a lot of people doing video related to open source work might find the visualization not only useful but incredibly beautiful.

    I found the video to be smoother if I turn off the HD option.

    Wow... This is very impressive. But, what's the meaning of "gravity"?

    Nice visuals. But all the molecular points are always converging to the center, or to the main code, without scaping. That is not giving any sense to the formation, i mean, that is not explaining why they are going through a codification neither why the center runs like a field of atraction. If they are passing through that, some molecules should decodificate themselves and scape, because the main code isnot capable to codify and retain each molecule with an specific code. So he should just let go while they will try to get out of his field -without success, because he will recodify them-. I think this visual es pretty awesome, but i have to say sincererly that it lacks a main conceptual explanation, maybe a deleuzian ontology shoud be backgrounded :-)

  • Really impressive. Looking forward for the release of code_warm.

    Simply put, incredible - The amount of work and TIME all there in front of your face captured...

    Truly original.

    I love it! Thanks Michael.
    would you ever be interested in doing this to the Kernel?
  • Michael Ogawa 3 years ago
    No doubt. Unless someone beats me to it...

    Thanks for sharing !
    Absolutely faboulus, I'm sure this code could help with other data ...
    Great to see the evolution in the time !!!
    I had a look on other videos on the same subject here and on your website.
    I also had a look on google code project to get the sources. I would have like to have a single package for all files sources, it would be great !
    Great works and great code !!!!
    Please continue we like it !!!

    Michael,
    I found the packages on google and tried using Mac !
    On Leopard, it works fine !!!
    For the movie making, I used QT-Pro ...
    Everything is nice and perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thanks again for sharing such an open code !!!!!!!!

    This is amazon work, Michael... can I show a few of these at the Microsoft TechEd conference - dang, I'd love to do a spoof showing MS development - with Vista blowing up.... or maybe a bus coming along and MS throwing it under. If anyone's up for making a 'spoof video', let me know!

    BTW... showed the Wireshark code_swarm to my daughter and her reaction "cool, Mom - looks like a black hole sucking in the life of all those people around it." Out of the mouths of babes, eh?
