One of these people made contributing to Open Source a major goal for last year.&lt;p&gt;Well done to him, and well done to GS for supporting him. The company (rightly) gets a ton of bad press, but that doesn&apos;t mean it can&apos;t do good things as well.&lt;p&gt;Disclaimer: I&apos;m an ex GS employee, but have nothing to gain.</text></comment>

It&apos;s a large corporation with many branches and technical needs, some of which are harmless to open-source. Despite its reputation, I don&apos;t think they go through their day thinking &quot;hmm... we could open-source this, or we could go kick a puppy instead! Muahahaha!&quot;</text></comment>
