The Growth of an Open Source Community` Telegraf's growth from its initial creation by Paul Dix on April 1, 2015 to the present day has been a remarkable journey, as visualized in the video `telegraf-git`. The project's number of contributors has exploded over time, with Telegraf relying heavily on its community for input and output plugins. This growth is a testament to the power of open source software development and the importance of contributions from developers and contributors. As a result, Telegraf has become a robust and versatile tool for gathering statistics and metrics, used daily by its creator and many others. The project's success is a special thank you to all those who have contributed to its growth and development over the years.
