Comment on Commemorating Charlie Poole's Contributions to the NUnit Project

Comments

After over TWENTY years leading the NUnit project, Charlie is stepping back.

Has NUnit helped you, your career, or your organization? We'd love to hear about it at https://github.com/nunit/nunit/discussions/4283.

To attempt to quantify Charlie’s contributions to NUnit is a daunting task. He was the lead of NUnit across at least 207 releases in 37 different repositories, authoring 4,898 commits across them. He participated in 2,990 issues, 1,305 PRs, and impacted 6,992,983 lines of code. And those are only the ones we can easily find; our numbers are sourced from after NUnit moved the project to GitHub in 2011, which means there are at least 9 additional years of work not quantified above.

I think of Charlie as one of the ".NET OSS OGs". I'd love to see him celebrated.
