A lot of their work right now is going into Open Wine Components like UMU, the unified launcher for Windows games on Linux, which allows the likes of GE-Proton to run properly outside of Steam for use in tools like Lutris, Heroic, Bottles and other launchers. The creator, Thomas Crider, recently did a talk at the Ubuntu Summit you should check out.
