Geir Magnusson is leaving Intel to become vice president of engineering at video streaming start-up Joost.

"This change in employment has no bearing on my dedication and passion for Apache Harmony," Magnusson said. "While the downside is that the time I can devote to Harmony is reduced, I think that in itself will make my contributions that much more focused, and hopefully as or even more effective. This new opportunity was just too good, too exciting, too terrifying to pass up--I'm an entrepreneur and builder at heart."
