In no way do I disparage the work of Debian. But as you have already mentioned, they are outside the Ubuntu community, which was the focus of this article. In actuality, there are thousands of packages out there that are volunteer effort, and they also are a part of both Debian and Ubuntu. However, one can go off in thousands of directions and never get anything accomplished, or one can focus on one topic and address that well. I chose to address one topic only. Dear foo,

This is exactly the sort of comment I was hoping to get. I can't be everywhere or know everything and I appreciate the help in recognizing other volunteers in the organization. Thanks again, Tyche laserjock,

Thanks. This is exactly the sort of comment I was hoping to get. I can’t be everywhere or know everything and I appreciate the help in recognizing other volunteers in the organization.

In fact I think it's somewhere around 1/2. I think it’s also worth while to note that not all Main developers (Core Devs) work for Canonical either. In fact I think it’s somewhere around 1/2.
