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."

    How can Miguel be excluded? Didn't he start the whole thing? That's be like excluding Linus from a Linux Foundation. Just makes the Gnome Foundation seem like a joke if they leave the founding member out.

      No, what would make it a joke is if they ignored all of their rules for someone, regardless of who that was.

      Ya but you also lose integrity by allowing people who don't meet deadlines to slip by. It is a lose/lose situation really. I'm sure Miguel will still be very involved.
