There is no doubt that Google is a big supporter of the Open Source community. They have released well over a million lines of internal code under OSS licenses and host the Summer of Code each year. They also are among the top supporters of YAPC::NA. This year Google not only picked up the tab on the conference t-shirts, but also provided speakers for the closing keynote. Brian Fitzpatrick and Ben Collins-Sussman, Googlers and subversion developers, will be keynoting on June 18th about the Open Source community. Thank you Google!
