It's not a random pick from the population, or the 95% male ratio in engineering would also be somewhat weird. They have a small team: https://asahilinux.org/a

They have a small team: https://asahilinux.org/about/ https://asahilinux.org/about/
People like to team up with others like them, so the fact that they're more likely to collaborate with other trans people is not weird at all.
- School-Cotton 3y agoI don't think she was referring to Asahi there.

The only graphical subystem she is on the list for is the Panfrost driver. I don't think that counts as "on the board overseeing Linux graphics", not at all. This is one GPU driver. She is on the board overseeing the general graphics for Linux for the Asahi project, so I think that's what she was referring to.
- minimaul 3y agoI suspect it was actually a reference to https://www.x.org/wiki/BoardOfDirectors/ https://www.x.org/wiki/BoardOfDirectors/. > X.Org Foundation's (or X.Org for short) purpose is to research, develop, support, organize, administrate, standardize, promote, and defend a free and open accelerated graphics stack and the developers and users thereof. This stack includes, but is not limited to, the following projects: DRM, Mesa, Wayland and the X Window System. Pretty neatly describes "I’m on the board overseeing Linux graphics.".
