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."

    I surprised no one answered this.

    Members of the GNOME foundation get to vote for the board. Basically these are the people who contribute to GNOME. So, if you translate or code or give presentations to do with GNOME you can be a member. There is no charge or anything like that.
