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."

  1. Voting irregularities by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    I hear there were some GNOME precincts that had more KDE votes than the total number of registered voters. Something smells fishy.

    With each year's election, it just keeps getting better & better . . .

    All of the traffic simply brings more review, attention and organization to the GNOME Foundation & GNOME Development.

    It's not a negative, it's a positive, either way they both push us forward towards our goals //kracker
