Geir, I was wondering if you could make an informal statement regarding
how IBM and Intel is backing the harmony project? Sounds like there is
many man hours in code, both past and future.
Well, I won't make any statements on behalf of IBM or Intel, and I'd be
surprised if anyone else did.
However, I believe you can judge corporate support by the contributions
to the community made by those corporations, and there are many ways
they can do it. Some that spring to mind are direct code donations,
allowing employees to participate on company time, donations directly to
the ASF, *usage* of a project, etc.
Both Intel and IBM have made generous donations that do reflect much
investment, and I expect that both companies will continue to support
the project with further donations of code as well as support via giving
empoyees freedom to participate here.
That said we need to be sure to treat - as much as possible - the
contributions of individuals as coming from those individuals.
As much as possible, we leave our employer hats at the door, and put on
our harmony hats.
I think it is great because this gives a big momentum but I also think
it would be nice to hear this in the open.
There have been statements in the press by IBM and Intel, IIRC.
