Summary: The company formerly focused on GNU/Linux is decreasingly contributing to its development and instead focusing on .NET, Silverlight, etc.
LINUX 2.6.33 has just been released. Let’s look at some recent numbers:
The release of the 2.6.33-rc7 prepatch indicates that this development cycle is headed toward a close, even if Linus thinks that a -rc8 will be necessary. As has become traditional, LWN has taken a look at some statistics related to this cycle and where the code came from. [...]By changesets (None) 1535 14.6% Red Hat 1223 11.6% Intel 1011 9.6% (Unknown) 868 8.3% IBM 500 4.8% Novell 390 3.7% Nokia 319 3.0%[...]By lines changed (None) 304895 26.7% (Unknown) 109716 9.6% Red Hat 92991 8.1% Broadcom 54272 4.8% Realtek 49951 4.4% Intel 46302 4.1% Nokia 37505 3.3%
Those who have watched these unofficial charts for a while will know that Novell steadily declines (that’s down from 8.9%). But hey, it’s doing fantastic work on Mono and Moonlight instead! █
