Jean-Baptiste Queru, aka JBQ, who was the lead for Google’s Android Open Source Project, announced via a tweet that he is now working at Yahoo! with the team developing their mobile apps. You may recall last month, after the release of the Nexus 7 2013, that JBQ became extremely frustrated with the inability to get factory images thanks to hesitancy on the part of Qualcomm in releasing their binaries. That frustration led to JBQ walking away from Google and the AOSP. That in turn appears to have triggered Google and Qualcomm to resolve the issues and post the factory images, though apparently too late to retain one of their leads.
JBQ indicates he started in his new position as an architect and senior principal engineer this week.
