The graph is a map of how developers, talks, events, companies, projects, topics, videos, and photos relate. Start with one node and expand outward.

What each setting shows
The controls, decoded
Search the graphPerson, project, topic…
Search matches node names and descriptions. It also includes media in the results, so a speaker, event, or title can lead directly to a video or photo record.
Speakers, organizers, interviewers, developer advocates, and other community members.
Conferences, meetups, and gatherings. Open one to find its talks, speakers, and media.
Conference sessions, panels, demos, and interviews.
Recordings connected to talks, speakers, events, companies, and projects.
Photo galleries and albums from conferences and meetups.
Organizations that employ, sponsor, host, or appear in the community.

Open the pill, choose a source type and destination type from the two colored columns, then click a source node. The graph isolates the shortest paths between those kinds. “Show full neighborhood” returns to normal exploration.

Neighborhood depth
How far to travel
Depth 1
Direct evidence
Only the selected node’s immediate connections: a speaker’s talks, a talk’s event, or a project’s contributors.
Depth 2
Useful context
Add connections of connections: a speaker’s talks, then the events, companies, projects, and media around them.
Depth 3
Wide discovery
Reveal the broader community around the selection. Best for discovery; expect a denser map.
Tip: Depth changes which nodes are emphasized, not the underlying data. Faded nodes remain in context while the chosen neighborhood stays bright.
05
Read connection strength
Not every edge is equal
Brighter and thicker means stronger.
Every edge takes the colors of the nodes it connects. Person-to-person links glow green, and selecting any node lights up all of its visible connections. Thickness still reflects repeated evidence: multiple interviews, shared talks, working together, or contributing to the same projects.
The scoring model will evolve as the graph gains richer relationship data.06
