Intel replaces Red Hat as the Linux kernel's first contributor

Intel has gone beyond Red Hat to be the most contributing organization for the Linux kernel, according to the 2015 Phased Development Report issued by the Linux Foundation.

So far, the biggest contributor to the Linux kernel remains community volunteers, but 57% of them are from various agencies. The top five of institutional contributions are "none", Intel, Red Hat, Linaro, and Samsung, and the sixth is "Unknown" (not the company name, which may be known for some reason or contribution when the other party did not identify with the Linux Foundation, the form except "None" and "Unknown").

It is noteworthy that the only Chinese company on the list is Huawei, ranked 21st.

Although the contribution ranked first, the Intel name does not hold the right to speak the Linux branch, from Moblin, Meego, Tizen to AOSP for x86, has been in a tepid state.

Of course, the significant increase in the "new" Company's contribution to the Linux kernel may have to do with Android's eventual incorporation into the Linux kernel after years of sawing.
