I've always been curious who are these people who commit so much personal time on open source projects (instead of doing rounded corners kind of web 2.0 work) and I googled Jeff Garzik, seemingly the most productive developer during this release: http://linux.yyz.us http://linux.yyz.us Notice that even his home page is all about his projects as opposed to self-promotion. Compare that to the douchebag Seth Sternberg (http://bit.ly/1m9PTZ http://bit.ly/1m9PTZ), who built a company on top of libpurple's team open sourced work, bragged about building "from nothing to something" and didn't even mention them in TC article, preferring to speak about his "desire to build the next great thing" buillshit instead.
