Tim Ney has decided to leave the GNOME Foundation for other endeavors. Tim has helped greatly in getting the GNOME Foundation off the ground and incorporated as a non-profit. He has played an essential role in fundraising and in organizing the GNOME conference GUADEC over the last 4 years. Tim has consistently been a strong voice for free and open software in government around the globe. We thank him for the work he has put in on behalf of the GNOME project and wish him well in his new endeavor.
In light of Tim's departure, the GNOME Board has taken the decision to separate the administrative functions of the Executive Director position from the communication and organizational roles that have been attached to it and to look to fill these roles separately. We feel this will allow us to take better advantage of GNOME's strong international network of volunteers. Note: to avoid any possible confusion that might result from this announcement, the board has asked the elections committee to keep nominations for candidates for next year's board open for another 24 hours.
