GNOME’s New Executive Director
Reprinted with permission from Ryan Farmer.
GNOME’s New Executive Director is a Kook.
There’s simply no polite way of saying this.
GNOME’s new Executive Director is someone who:
Cannot even code.
Believes in magic. (Seriously.)
Whose home page had a picture of an animal skull.
I didn’t think GNOME could get any worse, but they’ve managed.
Holly Million set her site to private after it was pointed out. (Fortunately Archive Today and the Wayback Machine have it.)
GNOME is full of people who hate the Free Software Foundation, and they are a grab bag of weirdos.
Fortunately, she’ll mostly be a drain on IBM, which is the real power behind GNOME.
Before she set her site to private to escape being humiliated, GNOME’s new Executive Director advertised “services” as a Shaman, which included “energy healings”.
Seriously, just use KDE. There are far less kooks floating around.
It is interesting to wonder how someone who holds no degrees in Computer Science, or IT skills, who believes in “energy healings”, “herbal medicine”, and “spiritual worlds between the seen and unseen worlds” got to be the Director of a major software project.
“Professional Shaman” must surely be some sort of joke.
Like, GNOME has not only hired a witch doctor, of sorts, they put her in charge. Wow. █
