GNOME announced an interim director of Richard Littauer, who joined last week.

Holly’s resignation appears to be personal, as she intends to pursue a PhD in Psychology.

    Holly holds a Master of Arts in Education from Stanford University and a Bachelor of Arts in English from Harvard University. Her academic background, combined with her extensive professional journey, equips her with a unique perspective that will undoubtedly contribute to the growth and success of the GNOME Foundation.

    From the Gnome Foundation page about her. I am genuinely struggling to:

    • Understand how a self-described shaman artist (who also sells “energy cleansing” services) is qualified to be director of anything but her own business ventures.
    • Understand how a person with a background in education and English is qualified to direct a foundation.

    Like FFS, do they just let anybody in?

      Tbf though the results speak for themselves though, GNOME has definitely been thriving under her though much of that is also do to the effort of others. She did put in a lot of work and no one inside GNOME complained so I assume it was a good deal. Also the page you linked shows she’s been working in executive positions in non profits for a while so definitely qualified.

        She lasted slightly longer than a head of lettuce. I don’t think she’ll be the reason Gnome Foundation lives or dies.
