Samsung becomes a Linux Foundation platinum member

If you have five minutes to spare, have a look at http://opensource.samsung.com/; it is not the typical "we do this just because we legally have to do it" site; it is the site of a company who really believes in what they are doing. As a consumer, this is kind of behavior "adds points" when I have to buy a new device.

Actually, that looks exactly like a download site for sources they can't avoid to release.

I see no documentation, no source code repositories, no way to report bugs and/or contribute patches, etc. And no source code for anything that they don't legally have to release source code for (like printer drivers, for example—fortunately their printers have been reverse engineered reasonably well).
