GNOME announced an interim director of Richard Littauer, who joined last week.

Holly’s resignation appears to be personal, as she intends to pursue a PhD in Psychology.

    Yeah. I do find her “shamanism” to be something to eyeroll at, but her actual work experience shows her running multiple non-profits, and by all accounts she did a decent job at Gnome.

    Clearly her shamanism BS didn’t actually affect her ability to work at Gnome or the other places she’s worked.

    You can be an absolute moron/a crazy person in some areas, whilst simultaneously being qualified to do some difficult jobs.

    Steve Jobs thought a fruit diet would cure pancreatic cancer, but he still had the chops to run Apple. A certain GNU figure that the Linux community loves has some, uh, unusual views on whether children can consent to sex or not, but he was still a great programmer and advocate for FOSS. I have a friend who thought Manchester, not London, was the capital of England, yet he works as an aeronautical engineer (and not for Boeing lol) in a senior design position.
