You are right that relatively to Israel's population, the number of open-source Israelis may be normal.<p>But I'm not asking this relatively to population size. It's already clear that Israelis have a disproportional number of technology workers/entrepreneurs. I'm asking, why so many tech people but not too many open-source-oriented tech people?<p>I'm active in Python-related communities, and I can recall only one or two Israelis except me in there. Also, I was the only Israeli guy in the last EuroPython, out of a few hundred participants.
