Keeps coming information about the results of the mass layoffs at Google, which affected about 12,000 employees (6% of the total workforce). In addition to the layoffs of some developers of the Fuchsia OS, which was reported earlier, some prominent figures who promoted open-source software and oversaw the companyâs open projects were also affected. For example, among those laid off were Christopher DiBona, who had been the director of engineering and Open Source projects at Google since 2004 (largely thanks to Christopher, projects like Android, Chromium, Kubernetes, Go, and TensorFlow emerged), Jeremy Allison, one of the leaders of the Samba project, Cat Allman, program manager of Open Source Outreach and Making & Science, and Dave Lester, who defined Googleâs strategy regarding open code and promoted the initiative to enhance the security of open projects.
