[TriLUG] Red Hat, GNOME, and Canonical, oh my

[Tarus Balog]

Gang:

What do you guys think of the latest meme dealing with commits to the GNOME project?

It started with Dave Neary's post on commits to GNOME:

http://blogs.gnome.org/bolsh/2010/07/28/gnome-census/

which showed that, in raw numbers, Red Hat has committed almost 16 times more changes to GNOME than Canonical.

This resulted in gdk posting "Red Hat 16%, Canonical 1%":

Then Mark Shuttleworth went off on tribes:

and then gdk responded:

Just curious what TriLUGers thought.
