GNOME Executive Director Steps Down, Who Will Step Up?

• They should get an Orthodox priest and repent for everything they've done, including hiring a pagan shaman.

• Let's hope the next one isn't a hack. Seriously, shaman with a degree in psychology? Might as well work for the gaming industry and be responsible for Skinner boxing microtransactions at that point.

• I want your shirt.

• 2:47 Your actions should speak for themselves, so this matters. Not because of the implications of her being a potential scammer but because you want someone that at least knows what they're doing in such an important position. All the complaints you have in regards to not having enough content about her were her job. If there's nothing there, it's her fault because she didn't do her job.

• Don't worry, our view of Mark is about the same as Holly.

• Software devs love magic thinking so much that a shaman may actually be a good director for them

• 2:48 "buff the party" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

• gnome as a project seems socially awkward

• And you know whose job is to decide what press releases go out of the organization? Yes, executive director. The problems you described are largely self-inflicted (or intentional).

• Sure, shamanism is a scam. Btw Gnome foundation just banned me on their Reddit for complaining about CSD and missing stable extensions API. I am a Gnome user.

• So I have listened to you for 14 minutes talking about a higher up who nobody knows anything about.
  Certainly not a waste since you clearly said what the thing is, still I feel like ??? about this executive director.

• If you want to secure funding you should get a person who knows how to do that not a person who knows how to sell snake oil.

  I don't get it, why defend a known scammer?

• Gnome has lost their babysitter, I hope the interim director can hold the reigns on the budget.

• I will be the chief GNOME

• Lunduke recently covered how little Holly Million actually did as director (such as forming a long plan to make a slide deck about their plans) but ultimately, she did prove she was more qualified than everyone else at the GNOME Foundation to make executive decisions–by finally recognizing that she had no qualifications whatsoever for the job she had and removing herself from it.

  Doesn't change the fact that the Gnome Foundation banned and blacklisted anyone who so much as breathed the word "shaman" instead of actually addressing people's concerns, though.

• tniop no si draob etihw ehT

• If your entire work experience is scamming people, how are we supposed to trust that she isn't trying to scam gnome?

  Can we stop defending bad people for once.

• Brodie have you read this 5 year strategic plan? It is laughable mate

• I did not care about the shaman thing. Didn’t even know about it, but I never went to look for it.

  All I know is gnome got more and more hostile towards the rest of foss with their goal to make whatever it is, they want their ugly operating system to be

• The shitshow marches on.

  The Gnome project must be a zombie or perhaps it is Jason Voorhees. sigh

  I got so excited that my brain didn't register "director" LOL

• 2:47 Idk I think the GNOME Project would need Mana Tide right now

• 7:30 "Lottener"? My guess is it's pronounced like Li-tower.

• It needs to be someone with qualifications. The shaman thing got attention was because it was bizzare and scammy, and she had, as far as anyone could tell, no qualifications what-so-ever. This should be someone with F/LOSS bonifides who has headed a project, or high up in GNOME already.

• Gnome will find a new shaman. A better shaman.

• (((gnome)))

• make a video about olive video editor

• gnome be speedrunning directors fr

• She's stepping down because the people she deals with are insufferable Machiavellian freaks. I don't blame her lol.

• A break-even budget was an achievement? GNOME really needed someone from outside if they didn't have one already. I have a suspicion based on zero knowledge that there might have been friction the first time she said "That's a beautiful project, but we don't have the money to fund it."

  BTW, if you make a living out of shamanism, it's evidence you're good at attracting money.

• Ugh.. Shaman Mains…

• Upcoming "Gnome 50 is the best Wayland experience" video xP

• Maybe she expected the Gnome foundation to be run by real gnomes, and is disappointed RN.

• Emong Us

• Why is it that closed source and proprietary focused companies understands how to make money from and with Open Source but not the Free and Libre world of Open Source itself?

• At least is not Lunduke… 🔥
