GNOME Foundation Elections Results Are In

Posted by timothy on from the or-out-depending-on-how-you-see-things dept.

PaaChhaa writes "The GNOME Foundation membership and elections committee has announced the preliminary results of this year's elections for the board of directors. There are a few new faces this year, and Miguel de Icaza, whose candidacy was rejected last year due to late submission, is back. The run up to this year's election saw a threat of boycott, which ultimately resulted in the online publication of the foundation's financial records. Also, a heated discussion followed the posting of the list of ten questions, and the opinions of the candidates and other foundation members on these issues can be found in the foundation-list archives for the months of November and December. A notable exclusion from this year's board is GNOME's release manager Jeff Waugh. who didn't run at all."

    I just found slashdot this week while trying to look for some useful information and I realized something: slashdot is useless.

    What a bunch of pretentious little pissants trying to compete in the arena of 'look at me, I'm the smartest.' That shit didn't get you anywhere in high school and it doesn't get you anywhere now either.

    The real smart people don't need to prove it--they live it.
