Someone asked me for a refund over this post, so I’d like to make something clear: our community consists of trans and gay and disabled people and people of color and people whose first language is not English and a whole host of other kinds of marginalization and I have no plans to ever stop celebrating that. If that’s a problem for you, I am extremely happy to give you your money back.

@danirabbit Question, out of the work done for elementary OS, what portion gets upstreamed and what portion is purely downstream / bespoke software ?

@Sobex this is extremely hard to quantify. We have commits in a number of freedesktop projects and specifications, in projects like portals and distinst and Flatpak builder GitHub actions, and in some cases we are the upstream to projects like XFCE shimmer icons and the Deepin WM is based on Gala IIRC. We do our best not to fork or distro patch software and to use existing libraries and contribute to those where possible, but overall I’d say the vast majority of commits are to our own projects
