    This post : When stupid people read company news

    (great ceo choice, she has experience in communication, which is the main thing a ceo has to do for gnome. She doesn’t need to do or participate deeply in development.

    And shaman, well whatever, why do you even care?)

    Holly brings three decades of invaluable experience in nonprofit management, having served as a consultant, director of development, executive director, and board member for numerous organizations. Notably, she founded the nonprofit organization Artists United, dedicated to empowering individual artists and fostering collaboration across artistic disciplines for the collective good. Additionally, Holly served as the Executive Director of the BioBricks Foundation, an international, open-source biotechnology nonprofit.

    I guess her actual career credentials don’t matter?

    No wonder so many women consider tech spaces inhospitable to them.

    I rarely see the same cynicism applied to men in tech who believe dumb shit like trickle-down economics.

    She sounds very experienced in managing larger projects and even some open source ones. Reading articles is not a hard endeavour. Perhaps you should try it. Gnome is the largest desktop enviorment on linux and it isn’t there because of bad decisions
