It appears Samsung is using them in Tizen and Collabora has some interest in them, presumably for some of their customers and the commit logs and bug reports show a few other companies. I expect that the projects are mostly considered "good enough" infrastructure that they don't have enough motivation to assign much work time to them. > The technical things should be easy for those companies to help with, > the "advocacy" is a different thing, and that you should be able to do > today by submitting talks to conferences to get the word out.

Of course, all of the work needed can be done by anyone volunteering in their spare time or work time when no higher priority work needs doing, but allocating funding towards these projects would make it easier for this work to be prioritised. > good luck!
