* Hector Martin "marcan", the Asahi project lead. marcan is a seasoned reverse engineer and developer with more than 15 years of experience porting Linux and running unofficial software on undocumented and/or closed devices. This is his most ambitious project yet, and he is funding the effort via [community donations and sponsorship](/support). His previous projects include [PS4 Linux](https://github.com/fail0verflow/ps4-linux), a Linux port to the proprietary hardware found on the PS4, capable of full 3D acceleration using OpenGL and Vulkan (radeon/amdgpu drivers); [AsbestOS](https://github.com/marcan/asbestos), a PS3 Linux bootloader for GameOS mode, and associated kernel patches to make Linux work on the PS3 Slim; and numerous contributions to the [Wii Homebrew ecosystem](https://wiibrew.org/), including being part of the team that developed [The Homebrew Channel](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel) and [BootMii](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/BootMii), documenting much of the hardware, and contributing to open homebrew SDK tooling.

* Asahi Lina, our GPU kernel sourceress. Lina joined the team to reverse engineer the M1 GPU kernel interface, and found herself writing the world's first Rust Linux GPU kernel driver. When she's not working on the Asahi DRM kernel driver, she sometimes hacks on open source VTuber tooling and infrastructure.

Porting Linux to Apple Silicon is no small task - certainly not something that can be accomplished only with spare-time hacking. Having one full-time dedicated developer on the project will allow it to advance at a steady pace and ensure that everything is paid the proper attention.
