GNOME is a project made up of hundreds of developers, working on different parts of the project. But how many developers are there? What is the median number of developers for a GNOME module? How many GNOME application developers are there worldwide?

The GNOME project has long encouraged the involvement of companies in its development, and past studies have suggested that the majority of code in the GNOME project is written by professional software developers. Who is investing in GNOME, and the GNOME stack? Whoch companies are paying developers to work on which parts of the platform? What areas of GNOME are the best models for co-operation between different companies?

Finally, more and more companies are looking for custom development on parts of the GNOME stack. There is a vibrant commercial ecosystem growing around the GNOME project. Which companies can provide services, and for what areas of the stack are they experts?

This presentation will attempt to answer all of these questions, and draw a picture of what the GNOME project looks like, and help draw conclusions for areas where we can improve, and leverage best practices.
