Hi, all- It is my pleasure to announce that the Board has decided to hire Stormy Peters as Executive Director of the Foundation. We've been in talks with her for some time and feel that she has an ideal combination of skills and background to fill the role, having been involved with GNOME and with the open source business community for a long time. For the fuller story on her bio, check out the press release, linked blow.
Stormy's responsibilities will include (among other things) strengthening and growing the GNOME Foundation's infrastructure, working with the Board of Directors, Advisory Board members, GNOME membership, and other GNOME supporters to create an awesome free and open source desktop that is easy to use and provide a strong development platform, and accelerating the adoption of GNOME and strengthening the Foundation by attracting new industry members and community contributors. No small task but we think she's up to it. If you're in Istanbul this week, please say hi to Stormy and welcome her on board. If you're not in Istanbul, well, feel free to welcome her on list or ask questions as well (though of course we're several hours ahead of many of you, so we might not be as prompt as usual.) Looking forward to this new era for the Foundation- Luis and the Board _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
