I'd have to see whether Canonical is contributing to other open-source projects before reaching the conclusion that Greg reaches. It's possible that they are more active in non-kernel projects. Kernel development isn't the only way to participate in Linux. It's not really surprising that a distribution where the major focus is UI polish and smoothness would not be heavily focused on kernel work. It's also possible that they send their contributions upstream to Debian rather than directly to the kernel developers, thus their work is attributed to Debian developers rather than to Canonical. All that said, it's possible that Canonical really isn't being a good community player. But I think that the jury is still out. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
