GNOME Loses Head Again, This Week in GNOME

GNOME ☛ Steven Deobald: So short, and thanks for all the flinch [Ed: IBM Has Taken Control of GNOME]
As the board announced earlier today, I will be stepping down from the Executive Director role this week. It’s been an interesting four months. If you haven’t been following my work with the Foundation during that period, you can peruse the weekly Foundation Reports starting from May 3rd. You can also hear me in a few places at GUADEC 2025: the Day 1 Panel Discussion (where I was extremely sick), my Day 3 keynote, and the AGM from Day 3.
As Allan mentions in his post, he’s taken over the role of board President. This means he will also be taking over as acting Executive Director when I step down, as per GNOME Foundation bylaws, and picking up where I left off. I’m enthusiastic about this transition. I have enjoyed working closely with Allan over the past four months and, with him at the helm, my only disappointment is that I won’t get to continue working closely with him.
