Sun Increases Commitment to GNOME

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-a-lot-of-commitment dept.

Ur@eus writes "Mark McLoughlin of Sun mailed the gnome-hackers mailing-list today announcing the deal between Sun, Ximian and Wipro. The deal means that Wipro will assign up to 50 people to work on GNOME including hackers, QA people, documenters and more. These hackers come in addition to the Sun hackers already working on GNOME at their Desktop Division in Ireland. The official announcement from Sun will come in a few days."

    They suck. This is the same group that fsck'd the drag and drop API in java, which did not work for three years and two major JDK releases.

    I would not cheer at hearing those Irish drunks are hacking gnome.
