On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), LinkedIn is ahead of Gainsight. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), LinkedIn is slightly ahead of Gainsight. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), LinkedIn is clearly ahead of Gainsight. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Gainsight is ahead of LinkedIn.

Gainsight carries 5 GitHub stars across 6 public repos, with 3 repositories active in the last 90 days and 3 external contributors on record. LinkedIn shows 77,785 stars across 137 public repos, 28 active in the last 90 days and 52 external contributors.
