Quin Storm is not a girl


Quin Storm (Beryl) is not a girl as states in many articles out there.

Beryl was originally a fork of Compiz, but lead developer Quinn Storm was clear on the fact that the Beryl project members bear no animosity toward the Compiz project, and that they're not trying to "kill" Compiz. However, the Beryl developers felt that Compiz was not open enough to accepting work from outside developers, and they felt it was necessary to fork Compiz to be able to innovate at their own pace.

Storm says that Beryl has a similar relationship now to Compiz as Ubuntu does to Debian. "We have gone our own way because we want to do things that are a bit more fresh, that are a bit more, perhaps, exciting. Compiz has their own goals and their own path, and so do we."

I think the confusion came from his avatar on the Beryl forum being a girl wearing what looked like purple spandex.
