"Allan Day, chair and now president of the GNOME Foundation, listed Deobald's achievements during his relatively short tenure, including internal policy and documentation work, recruiting a treasurer and vice-treasurer, the creation of a new donations platform, and "energetic engagement with the GNOME community." "Despite these many positive achievements, Steven and the board have come to the conclusion that Steven is not the right fit for the Executive Director role at this time. We are therefore bidding Steven a fond farewell," he wrote in the blog."
"The GNOME Foundation is once again hunting for a new boss after executive director Steven Deobald departed less than four months into the role, a move the board described as mutual. Deobald was handed the reins in May from interim director Richard Littauer, who had been in place for nearly a year but didn't want the post permanently because he'd taken on the role during a difficult time."
The GNOME Foundation is searching for a new executive director after Steven Deobald departed less than four months into the role in a decision described as mutual. Deobald had taken over in May from interim director Richard Littauer, who had served nearly a year but did not want the position permanently. Allan Day, chair and now president, credited Deobald with internal policy and documentation work, recruiting a treasurer and vice-treasurer, creating a new donations platform, and energetic engagement with the GNOME community. The board concluded Deobald was not the right fit and bid him farewell while working to fill gaps and pursue a community-based executive. Day assured the Foundation's operations would not be affected.
