Phoronix reports that Mathew Tippett is leaving AMD. He has been responsible for spearheading improvements in the Linux graphics driver.

Of course, most of the high and low points of ATI/AMD's Linux history can be found right here at Phoronix from the introduction of their new driver back in 2007 to Dell and others calling for better ATI Linux drivers, to their same-day Linux support, the critical moment when he and John Bridgman announced NDA-free ATI GPU specifications, their whole XvBA debacle, and dozens of other significant events over the years. Worth reading is also The Truth About ATI/AMD & Linux, which had gone over some of the process changes to the ATI Linux driver brought in part by Matthew Tippett. Matthew though would especially like to thank everyone on his software team for their hard work over the years.
