I think Mesos is the only one from that list they didn't make, they were just an early adopter on that one

Storm shouldn't really be on the list fwiw. They bought it and then replaced it with Heron after a couple years but barely worked on Storm in the interim. That was all Nathan.

You're right, they didn't make it and open source it. But they did work closely on it's creation, as far as I know.

(edited above post to remove Mesos mention).

You're actually right Benjamin Hindman now CEO of Mesosphere Inc. started what became the Apache Mesos project while a PHD student at Berkeley, He later left Berkeley, interned at Google, then took a full time role at Twitter where he built out Mesos at scale.

His linkedIn bio: Member of the Technical Staff Twitter March 2010 – May 2013 (3 years 3 months) Built out Apache Mesos (http://mesos.apache.org).
