Don't forget Japan,  I know we have one of those; as well as a pair of
Californians (and we all know that is really a seperate country).

Yep, Open Source knows no borders.  I use packages written in Spain,
Canada, Brazil, and Saudi Arabaia every day; and thats just the ones I
know about.  Linux progress anywhere is Linux progress everywhere.  Talk
about "synergy"!  And I suspect a respectable percentage of software
developement takes place in India (Novell for one instance has a large
shop there).
