Blender has reached its 25000th SVN commit – a measurement of development activity. Mike Pan comments on his blog.

For those of you following the Blender development scene, you might realize we have reached a remarkable milestone today. The Blender source code has had its 25000th revision on November 29th, 2009. This means since October 2002, when Blender was released as an open source package, twenty-five-thousand individual commits had been made towards the Blender source code.
Although this arbitray number is no way a direct measurement of the enormous effort that went into the making of this great software package (some commits are one line patches while others are gigantic multi-project merges), nor does the number 25000 have anything to do with the release of Blender 2.5, I think it’s still an amazing accomplishment that we should all celebrate, artists and developers alike.

Welldone! and thank you to all thous who made contributions to what is for me the coolest, most useful program I use!
Congrats for the 25000th revision :D
Congratulation! I realised the number while ago in SVN and it make me smile too. :) This project is amazing from the beginning and grows year after year rapidly. I have a birthday by coincidence, so I raise a wineglass for all Blender developers now!!!
the multiresolution/sculpt speed for me it’s better than in the previous revisions, now is possible to sculpt with multiresolution level 9…
Congrats for 25000 build!!!!
Wow, that’s a seriously big number. I wanna congratulate and thank all people that made this possible! Thank you.
If we could get the data, it would be fun to compare the number of Blender revisions to Microsoft Office revisions. I’ll bet Blender comes out ahead, and I’m not a betting man.
Let’s hope for another 50,000
congrats !!!
I download and celebrate the coders every day!
Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurraaaah!
yay :D That’s a huge thing!
The commits/time look like a spreading fire, great :D
Nice Pie Chart too, though I wonder how one could cut so tiny pieces of pie xD
It would be nice to see a combination: commits over time per author
The real power, Open Source , I never doubt off it.

All Hail Blender! All Hail Blender! All Hail Blender!
Changed my life forever, altered my prospect to future, sparked a little mesh in everything.
Lift up a stone, and there will be a little displacement happening, break a splinter of wood and you will find vertices. Blender was the dimension missing in my life, it was the 3rd, it became the maker of the virtual things and visions once bleak and flat turned… blender!
And on the first day I created the cube, the allspark in a Blender’s creation. On the second day I created light, which was ugly. I can’t recall the days thereafter, but I don’t care.

Whohoo, go devs and all contributors!
