Looks like she's joining Apple.

How would she join Apple but continue to work on Asahi Linux? That would be a pretty abrupt about-face for her or Apple, one or the other.

General Apple policy is that employees can't contribute to any open source project without explicit permission, which is very rarely granted (which is why Apple's not on my list of potential employers)

Seems plausible that Apple would make an exception for a highly skilled engineer.

Having worked with several highly skilled engineers who went to Apple - no, it doesn't.

Ooh, that would make sense. Working on Proton, or graphics driver for the Steam Deck?

Hmm, I thought Valve mainly contract Collabora to work on FOSS stuff for them rather than employing people directly.

But but ... does she said she's still fully alive or half-alive ?

Keyword is "reins": Move to Fiji and breed horses.

It would be good if her Collabora email address could stay active, it is embedded in the Linux sources, it makes it a lot harder to get signoffs on changes if you need to lookup new email addresses for contributors.

The Panfrost project doesn't make itself easy to contact, IRC is the only method listed in the Mesa documentation.
