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

LinkedIn carries 77,785 GitHub stars across 137 public repos, with 28 repositories active in the last 90 days and 52 external contributors on record. Zoom shows 3,380 stars across 159 public repos, 62 active in the last 90 days and 4 external contributors.
