Quagga commit history stats
Facts about the commit history of Quagga

Note: Quagga switched from CVS to git around '06; CVS did not record
'Author' as git does.

I worked for Sun from late '03 to '09. I also took on academic work from
'06. Late '07 / early '08 it became clear I'd overextended myself, and I
went on academic leave of absence (which was limited to 1 year by
policy). Oct '14 I was funded part-time (I still had academic stuff to
finish too) again by NetDEF, until early May '15.

Hasso Tepper and Denis Ovsienko (pilot, infrastation) were prolific
maintainers at different stages, though not funded to work on Quagga as
far as I know. I believe they worked on it alongside their regular
operator/admin day jobs.

Greg Troxel (gdt) and Andrew Schorr (ajs) did a huge amount of work.
Again, alongside their other work.

"OpenSourceRouting" was an ISC project originally. ISC approached me
about funding someone, and I pointed them towards David. David was
funded on some basis from mid '12 onward as part of this
"OpenSourceRouting" project, by ISC initially and NetDEF later. In late
'13 "OpenSourceRouting" was transferred from ISC to NetDEF. NetDEF
received $150k of funding in each of '14 and '15, according to their IRS
Form 990 declarations.

The last two words are going on:

sdxcentral.com/articles/interview/quagga-project-martin-winter-interview/2014/02/

Where it is said "NetDEF is now taking over ownership of the
OpenSourceRouting project from ISC to continue its mission. .. We are
mainly sponsoring a maintainer"

FWIW, the contracting fees in the '14 Form 990 declaration for NetDEF
appear to correspond entirely with what I was paid for the last 3 months
of '14.

Oh, I was funded by Vyatta over the summer of '09. I also did other
contracting work over '09 and '10. Mostly net-ops stuff, but also work
on ospfd. The result of which was a series of patches to untangle the
flooding paths a bit (still not super-easy to follow but, wowser, it was
so much worse), squash a bunch of bugs and make ospfd a lot more
reliable. Borne out on the somewhat unusual and extreme network of that
client.

Unfortunately, that was a major factor in a rift between Denis and
myself. Denis felt the ospfd changes were not tested (they had been,
extensively, but I couldn't give the details - that contractee was very
secretive). Denis wanted more stability.
