Interim Executive Director 2024--2025
I was the Interim Executive Director for the GNOME Foundation, from July 2024 to May 2025. GNOME, originally an acronym for GNU Network Object Model Environment, is a free and open-source desktop environment for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It is used by millions of users. I took over after the previous ED stepped down, and I did my best to help the OSS organization during a difficult transition period. It was very, very stressful at times. I said goodbye here.
I am also now a Foundation Member, I think for life. So that’s nice.
