Google has hired a 14-year Apple engineer Bill Stevenson to help bring the Fuchsia OS to market [9to5google.com].

We learned [9to5google.com] in 2016 that Google was working on an entirely new operating system called Fuchsia. Development continues with new features [9to5google.com] and testing on a variety of form factors spotted regularly. Google has since hired 14-year Apple engineer Bill Stevenson to work on its upcoming OS, and help bring it to market.

[...] Remaining in the OS X organization, he became a Senior Engineering Program Manager four years later. New responsibilities included serving as PM and Technical Lead for AirPlay, Find My Mac, iCloud for Mac, and AirDrop from 10.6 Snow Leopard to 10.9 Mavericks. Most of these features are notably backed by cloud services.

[...] It’s not surprising why Google would want someone with that background and experience to bring up Fuchsia. In a LinkedIn post shared [linkedin.com] yesterday, Stevenson specifically notes “joining Google to help bring a new operating system called Fuchsia to market.”

Google seems to be all aboard the Fuchsia train.
