thirty? hmm.

Wouter asserts that Ubuntu has more than 30 full-time employees. I know it wasn't his number (Scott came up with it and should've been a bit more clear), but it's badly wrong, anyway. Canonical has more than 30 employees, but Ubuntu ... the full-time distribution team hardly breaks double figures. That's pretty comparable to the number of people working on the m68k port (albeit the latter are not funded full-time). But it's an interesting point nonetheless, and thanks to the assumption that Canonical does nothing other than Ubuntu, people seem to assume that Ubuntu was produced by a team of 30, 40, whatever; not even close. That team was barely ten.
