Didn't see this question on the wiki.

There are some significant activities going on:
* presentation on Tuscany/SCA at TSSS by minority project members
* collaboration with other SDO implementations on a (SDO) community  
test suite
* collaboration with an independent group interested in DAS for C++
all of which have the potential to attract unaligned contributors.

Of the active committers (i.e. have committed since 1/1/07), 14 work  
for the dominant vendor compared to 3 who do not.
