  • Publication number: 20180300127
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for computing coding velocity. One of the methods includes receiving a definition of one or more individual source code developers belonging to a target developer entity. Coding-velocity samples for each individual source code developer belonging to the target developer entity are generated, wherein each coding-velocity sample represents a measure of coding activity by the individual source code developer over a respective time duration. The coding-velocity samples are aggregated according to the definition of the target developer entity. A coding-velocity model for the target developer entity is generated from the aggregated coding-velocity samples of the target developer entity. A value of a particular coding-velocity attribute for the target developer entity is computed using the coding-velocity model.

  • Publication number: 20170310888
    Abstract: A camera application executable on a camera enabled device, such as a smartphone, can include an image capture interface used to record the live image displayed on a display screen of the device. The image capture interface can also display multiple album icons that can be actively associated with an image capture function. The album icons may correspond to attribute sets including a folder into which recorded images may be stored. The album icons operate as individual shutter buttons that cause the camera application to record the image and apply one or more attributes of the respective album to the recorded image. The attributes may include storage attributes as well as sharing attributes.

  • Patent number: 9785432
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for designating developers as having a particular skill. One of the methods includes obtaining a reference collection of snapshots for a code base, wherein each snapshot comprises a representation of source code of the code base at a particular time, each snapshot being associated with a particular developer of a plurality of developers of the code base. A plurality of metrics for each developer that committed at least one snapshot to the reference collection of snapshots is computed. Respective values of the plurality of metrics are partitioned into a plurality of respective partitions, and each of the plurality of developers are assigned to one of the plurality of partitions for each of the plurality of metrics. Developers in one or more top-ranked partitions are designated as developers having a particular skill.
