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.

    Also the page you linked shows she’s been working in executive positions in non profits for a while so definitely qualified.

    That’s certainly something to bear in mind, but as someone who worked in academia, resume ≠ qualified. Especially at the Director+ levels, unqualified people get to become provosts and presidents all the time.

    She may be qualified on paper, but given the fact that she voluntarily left after only 10mo, it speaks to the fact that she’s likely a flake and very self-interested. Gnome may have thrived, but it remains to be seen if that was because of or in spite of her; perhaps she was so hands-off that everybody else just ran things the way they needed to be run.
