You've reached the wrong location to ask such questions.  If you are
interested in localization issues, the 'doc' list is more appropriate.

We are NOT a company and don't have an HR view of things.  Your inquiry
into people's location is irrelevant at best given today's technology
and work habits.  Such measurements are feel-good non-sense (if I might
add my bias), what really should be measured are the results and accomplishment
these dedicated people have attained and correlate that
to productivity (shear gross number of people against time).
