GNOME Foundation Board Election Results

Posted by michael on from the gnews-you-can-use dept.

Anonymous BillyGoat writes "The results of the 2003 GNOME Foundation Elections have been announced. These are preliminary results, and will stand unless someone decides to challenge them. A notable exclusion from this year's list is Miguel De Icaza, whose candidacy application was rejected as it missed the deadline. In related news, barely a few weeks after the news of the death of GNOME hacker Chema Celorio in a sky diving accident, the GNOME community was shocked by the news of the sudden death of Evolution hacker Ettore Perazzoli."

    Uh, yah, underachiever, that'd be me alright... :)

    That's pretty funny. I like that. :)

    No, what I hate is untalented folks like yourself who find it far more important to stand on ceremony and tradition and let it interfere with with actually accomplishing something. But then, when you fail (as your kind often does), at least you have a scapegoat, as you can point to the person who did things "different" to actually get the job done.

    Q: What would you call a skydiving club for Linux geeks?

    A: I don't know about you, but I'd call it skeet.
