As far as you can tell? Well that ain't too far, apparently. I
have put in well in excess of 1000 hours of hard work, coding and
otherwise, on the GGI project over the time I have spent as a member. I'm
not by any means the hardest worker in the GGI project, but I do my share.

And that isn't counting the time I spend talking about GGI on
linux-kernel, the GGI mailing list, Slashdot, usenet and other fora. I'm
sort of the de facto ambassador of the GGI project - not because I am the
most polite person (though I am usually), but because the job of
correcting misinformation and swimming through the flames and the abuse is
so arduous that no one else wants to do it. I am the only person
masochistic (or thick-skinned, take your pick) enough to keep at this
task.
