The GNOME Foundation, the non-profit organization behind the GNOME desktop environment, has announced the departure of Holly Million, its executive director. We covered her appointment as recently as nine months ago, at the end of October.
As we said then, the job is not a technical one: It's more of a spokesperson, the face of the project, and as the person who collects sponsorship for work overseen and guided by the GNOME Foundation, which is a tax-exempt US 501(c )-organization.
Her role would thus include doing things like lining up one million euros ($1,089,750) in funding for the GNOME project, which Germany's Sovereign Tech Fund awarded the community in early November. We assume the ball was rolling long before Million was appointed.
