Ubuntu, security response, and community contributionsUbuntu, security response, and community contributionsPosted Jul 17, 2008 6:28 UTC (Thu) by apokryphos (guest, #42130)Parent article: Ubuntu, security response, and community contributions
It's really hard to argue that there is some clear two-way flow for Canonical/Ubuntu (in terms of contribution) in the same way that there is for Red Hat or Novell. For example, SUSE employ some 15 developers to work on OpenOffice.org alone (not even considering the other major desktop developers in, say, X, KDE, GNOME, etc), while Canonical's _entire_ desktop development team consist of some 3 developers last time I checked. Their concentration seems to have always been rather to just re-package Debian's snapshots and perhaps create a few distro-specific tools, than to work on FOSS projects upstream.
