She is used to be the maintainer of USB 3.0 and had an argument with Linus Torvalds about his conduct beginning in 2013. [1] > [Valerie Aurora "co-founder of the Ada Initiative", outright states > Ted Ts'o should be fired and more.] Since 2012 she states that Ted Ts'o should be fired [2] based on e-mails from him [3]. Matthew Garret archived the whole thread in question [4]. Currently, Valerie Aurora is looking for former Linux Foundation employees [5]: > Torvalds also fostered a cult of personality whose central tenet is > that Linux will fail if Torvalds is not its leader.

She later tweeted [6]: > So where are all the disgruntled ex-Linux Foundation employees? > Working with the walking PR disaster that is Linus Torvalds should > have people lining up to complain to reporters, and at least 4 senior > people left in 2016 This text was retweeted by Matthew Garrett. He also called Ted Ts'o a rape apologist [7]. The Ada Initiative was able to raise more than 80,000$ of donations in 2011 [8] and in 2012 [9] allowing the members to work full time for the Ada Initiative. The list of donors includes Adobe, Google, Red Hat, and Microsoft, all of them members of the Linux Initiative [10]. (Microsoft is a LF platinum member.) For at least six years, these people have had an axe to grind with Linux.
