Two figures that inspired me were missing, why the lucky stiff and Ryan Bates from railcasts fame.
Otherwise great docu with DHH "f*uk you" slide which does give an insight into successful open source projects.

Unfortunately iirc Ryan suffered a burnout and had a lengthy break. I hope all that is better now.
Unfortunately having folks around me that had burnout helped me to avoid one myself.
The Ruby on Rails community struck me as different back in the day in how fun it was.
It's hard to explain but coming from a Java background the community seemed to be full of interesting and engaging characters. Some people don't really appreciate that and prefer things to be very dry but I loved it.
I'd like to shout out to Ryan Bates, Geoffrey Grosenbach, Zed Shaw, _why, Jason Seifer, Gregg Pollack, Sandi Metz, Ezra Zygmuntowicz, Yehuda Katz, Dr Nic, Tenderlove and a whole heap more.
Thanks everyone, you've made it a very entertaining journey.
You played a big part in it. Thank you!
