Kieker’s Development in Five Minutes

Using the tool Gource (http://code.google.com/p/gource/), we created a nice visualization showing the development of Kieker in only five minutes. The video contains parts of our Git history and shows not only how the project has grown since 2008, but also how many different developers already contributed to the project.
