Three ways for Ubuntu to help developers

• trotsky 16y ago
  Wouldn't a straight forward way to help developers who develop software for the ubuntu ecosystem be to pay them? gnome contributions (as % of commits) Red Hat 16.30% Novell 10.44% Intel 2.57% Sun 2.04% Nokia 1.42% Canonical 1.03%

    Isn't Ubuntu dropping Gnome? How do those percentages relate to size of the companies/gross profits from Linux related operations?
    • ENOTTY 16y ago
      No. Ubuntu is dropping Gnome shell.

    The numbers are even more telling when you factor in the other major projects as well. The numbers for the kernel in particular do a great job of showing which organizations are actually driving Linux to desktop adoption.
