    Satire or not, it does raise a few points that seem valid. Particularly that “She does not seem to have any experience with GNOME or Linux. In fact… she does not seem to have any experience related to software. At all. In any way.”

    Based on the official blog it looks more like GNOME hired her as “an experienced communicator and fundraiser”. So maybe they don’t care whether she even owns a computer as long as she can raise money and woo investors?

      honestly, from a business point of view, this makes some sense, but yeah, a bit out-of-touch with the community

      if it’s actually true that is!

      What this basically means is that nobody that works for GNOME is presentable to the public and they need SOMEONE that’s showered in the past nine months to go out and raise money. ANYONE.

      Or it means that the project is growing and they need to act like a fucking business and not a loose-knit association of nerdasses with zero actual business skills.

      You know… the reason every fucking tech company has a CEO.
