What Are They Running

Unsure who to vote for at the 2013 Australian federal election?

Does one party favour open-source more than the other?

Using data from OpenAustralia.org each member of the House of Represenatives with a personal website is checked. A HEAD request is issued to their website and the corresponding HTTP headers are used to determine their operating system, Web server, and Application server.

Usage

To collect data for each member if the House of Represenativies run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/srbartlett/whataretheyrunning.git
cd whataretheyrunning
gem install nokogiri thor
./bin/whataretheyrunning ask_for_head

This outputs a json file that can be used for analysis.

An example web page that uses javascript to visualise the results can be found in a branch called gh-pages

Hosting

Github Pages is used to host the web page
