New challenge
Hi Foundation members, I've posted some news on my blog. Working as the GNOME Foundation Executive Director has been an incredible experience for me and GNOME has made some impressive progress in my time at the Foundation. I'm proud of where the GNOME community is and think it's time for me to hand the reins over to someone new. Today I am announcing my new position as the Software Freedom Conservancy Executive Director. As many of you know, I have been volunteering with Conservancy for some time, having co-founded it when I was at SFLC. It is an important organization where I think I can make a difference, and GNOME is in good hands. The current board of directors continues to impress me with their commitment and varied skillset and I know they will continue to lead the organization well. There's a more detailed discussion of this change on my blog at gnomg.org but of course, I have no intention of leaving GNOME. I plan to announce my candidacy for the board when the call comes out, I'll stay on as pro bono counsel, and of course I'll continue volunteering in other ways. The Conservancy has also agreed to partner with GNOME, so that I can help to run the Outreach Program for Women with Marina. I'm excited for my new role and am glad I can continue to work with you in so many ways. karen ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
Re: New challenge
Hello Karen, I would like to thank you so much for your contributions and your passionate devotion for the project, you have been a great influence on the project, you should feel proud. I am sad to see you stepping down from a job I think you were doing so well. Hopefully the next ED will be as good an influence as Stormy and yourself have been. I hope you enjoy your new position and I really hope we will all see you around in all of the upcoming GUADECs! 2014-03-31 17:56 GMT+02:00 Karen Sandler ka...@gnome.org: Hi Foundation members, I've posted some news on my blog.

Re: New challenge
Hey Karen, I'd like to join the chorus and thank you for all your hard work over the past three years. We've been incredibly lucky to have you, and you've had a hugely positive impact on the project. It's been a pleasure. And this isn't goodbye, because I expect to see you in GNOME in the future, and because I consider us to be friends as well as colleagues.

Re: New challenge
Like most of us in the Free Software community, and like Karen herself, I have a lot of roles in the community. As a GNOME Foundation Member, I'm really grateful for Karen's work at GNOME Foundation. As the FSF Representative on the GNOME Advisory Board, I've been particularly glad that Karen has invested so much effort to help GNOME focus on software freedom. But, my primary role for the last four years has been as Conservancy's President and Executive Director, as well as various other Conservancy roles. I've effectively been doing two full-time jobs at once. This left me overworked and desperate for someone who is a talented non-profit manager to come to Conservancy to help me run Conservancy. So, while I'm sad that Karen's leaving GNOME Foundation, I feel really glad for Karen to be joining Conservancy's management team with me. Specifically, Karen's new position will allow me to focus on a lot of key tasks that Conservancy desperately needs (see links from my quote in Conservancy's press release at https://sfconservancy.org/news/2014/mar/31/karen-joins/ for details), while still being sure that the work of Conservancy's Executive Director is done by someone dedicated to software freedom and fully capable to successfully run a Free Software non-profit organization. Karen and I have talked at great length about making sure that GNOME Foundation wouldn't be left in the lurch in this transition. Conservancy has agreed fully to make Karen's time available to continue working on OPW (and, our hope is that Conservancy can get more involved in OPW with Karen's help) and all of us at Conservancy are encouraging Karen to volunteer at GNOME Foundation, including running for its Board of Directors elections. (Conservancy even has an official policy that allows employees to use some of their staff resources to volunteer at other non-profits.) I personally served on the GNOME Foundation Hiring Committee that hired Karen, and both I personally and Conservancy as a whole would be delighted to help in any way we can as GNOME finds someone who can continue Karen's work at GNOME Foundation and pick up where she left off. -- bkuhn ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
