Intel overtakes Red Hat to become top Linux kernel contributor
Intel has made significant contributions to the Linux kernel in recent times and has managed to surpass Red Hat as the top contributor.
The annual "Who writes Linux?" report was released by the Linux Foundation to reveal critical numbers regarding the development of the open source software. Many enterprises have been involved with the Linux Foundation over the years but major contributions have always been from traditional Linux companies such as Red Hat, IBM and SUSE.
According to the report for 2014, Intel made the most contributions to the Linux kernel development efforts, surpassing last year's leader, Red Hat. The remaining contributors from the top 10 include Linaro, Samsung, IBM, SUSE, Texas Instruments, Vision Engraving Systems, Google and Renesas.
