You might want to get a English translation of the article on page 94
of January's issue of this German magazine:

This will explain in part what is going wrong with Linux. Sun and
the Community would be wise to understand the points made therein.
There is another thing. IBM is hiring as many of the key
contributors it can.

I don't dispute that, the fact the Solaris can better Linux in

point is not so much that more than one company contributes to
core Linux,
but many companies pay staff to work on Linux derived code,
whether it be
embedded or PC based.
This is no different than Sun paying staff that works on
OpenSolaris, and Sun
has open sourced more code than any other single company.
One of the more likely candidates for such a project might be 3Ware.
Anyone interested in working on 3Ware drivers?
I would.
Let me see what I can find out, I've talked to them a couple times.
It might
be possible to get some hardware and help with specs as well. Do
you have a
particular chipset of theirs that interest you?
