Comment on Back from the Blender Conference

Comments

On Linux Desktop funding: companies like Red Hat and Canonical fund much of the development on things like GNOME.

The real budget is likely much higher than the article suggest, especially now that Ubuntu fully switched to Gnome.

Yep. Red Hat employs quite a few people who work on Gnome and Gnome apps, as done Canonical. Despite being employees for a company, they are extremely involved in the open source Gnome community. It's an amazing example of GPL success IMHO.

Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat but not on Gnome
