Arnnon Geshuri, Newest Wikimedia Trustee, Forced To Resign

Posted by timothy on from the tough-crowd dept.

New submitter Mdann52 writes: Following an earlier vote of no confidence, it was announced that the recent appointee, Arnnon Geshuri, had stepped down from the board. This was following community criticism into his background. Says the announcement: The Board Governance Committee is working to improve and update our selection processes before we fill the vacancy left by Arnnonâ(TM)s departure. We are sorry for the distress and confusion this has caused to some in our community, and also to Arnnon.

    Also, new management, maybe you could make Slashdot actually support unicode or pasting in weird things so that articles don't have weird symbols like this one?

    He's so corporate he trademarked his own name.

    I just hate how the 'related links' at the bottom of the page, about Wikipedia, for a site that is about tech "stuff" are:

    1165 - 10 Confirmed Dead In Shooting at Oregon's Umpqua Community College
    1094 - Los Angeles Raises Minimum Wage To $15 an Hour
    1081 - How To Execute People In the 21st Century
    1032 - Writer: "Why I Defaulted On My Student Loans"
      965 - Explosions and Multiple Shootings In Paris, Possible Hostages

    How are stories that are better suited to USA Today the most 'related' stories?

    Slashdot, how the mighty have fallen.
