You'll find various members from different communities. ATI actually picked me up "from" one of the communities if fact - my former life I was one of the line of editors / owners of
Beyond3D. Currently I am the Manager of the Performance and Enthusiast Desktop GPU team in the Discrete GPU Product Management Division.
