In my anecdotal experience, Canonical hasn't exactly been a shining example of working with the community instead of being tribal. They have open source projects, but they don't tend to go very far out of their way to make those projects useful to other organizations. The pace at which changes from outside Canonical get merged into their projects is very glacial. But that's just my experience. I'm sure others have had plenty of great experiences with them.
