If You Wanna Be Gnome's Executive Director You Have a Week to Apply - FOSS Force
The Gnome Foundation, which looks after the real-world minutiae needed to produce what is arguably Linux’s most used desktop environment, announced today that it has officially “opened the search” to find a new executive director. As part of the search it’s accepting applications from anyone interested, with a deadline of September 20 which is only seven days from now.
Why the rush? You can draw your own conclusions, but I have a few ideas of my own, none of which gives me a good feeling about the goings on at Gnome. My first thought is that Gnome’s board has already chosen someone and that the job search announced today is only a show, so that nobody connected with the organization who wants the job will feel left out. It could also be that they’ve already collected some applications internally, or at least have a good idea who, from within the organization, is standing in line to apply, and feel confident that the gene pool is already big enough that seven days will suffice.
