As i stated on irc, i am not too happy with allwinner joining linaro. For quite a few of the linaro member companies, this is really just another consortium. They dispatch some fluff "engineers" that are usually not too useful anywhere else, and then pat themselves on the back that they are now actively doing the "open source" thing as well. I was getting hopeful with allwinner talking to some of us directly in the last few weeks. But now that i learned that they joined linaro, that hope was lost. Allwinner joining linaro will only reduce Allwinners active contributions to linux-sunxi in future. They have chosen to back linaro instead, and will now dispatch some dispensable "engineers" to linaro, and feel good about themselves. And then they will turn around to us and state: "but we are already doing open source, at linaro".
