The FOLK (Functionally Overloaded Linux Kernel) project currently stands at 17 completely-merged patches, and 1 partly-merged. 18 capabilities in all, once the merge of XFS is complete. Of these, 3 are SGI projects, 3 are IBM projects, 1 is a HP project, and the remaining 11 are all by independent developers. Methinks the independent coders are wiping the floor, ceiling and walls with the "Big Guys". Keep it up!
