Who does most of the development?
100% of our development is done by our contributors ;)
(Note: our contributors include individuals employed by many corporations, including SUSE) Yes, I know, a cheesy answer, but if you want to understand, you NEED to start thinking along these lines.
What's the ratio of SUSE to non-SUSE contributors? Is that tracked? Is it public info?
It's public - all of our commits, like all of our code, can be seen in their associated OBS or GitHub projects. But that's a lot of data, and we do not actively track it. Speaking from the Board's perspective, when we last discussed parsing that data, we felt we didn't really see a benefit.
I would say we should show the numbers, just to show off. Show how we have built a vibrant, active community. Great marketing story. It would also stop people wondering.
However I look at what goes on in openQA, there is no way in a million years I could suggest that SUSE do the majority of the work in openSUSE (though obviously, the work they do is wonderful and openSUSE wouldn't want to live without it).
Well, what does go on in openQA? :-) For instance, how many test cases were contributed by non-SUSE volunteers? (just to think of something). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-1.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
