Subject: [adboard] Karen Sandler Named New Executive Director of the
GNOME Foundation
To: GNOME Advisory Board <advisory-board at gnome.org>


Dear Advisory Board.

It's my pleasure to announce that the board have decided to hire Karen
Sandler as the new Executive Director.
Karen joins GNOME from the Software Freedom Law Center where she has
been General Counsel, advising a wide range of free and open source
software organizations

Karen's dedication to software freedom, her non-profits experience and
her involvement in a wide range of free and open source software
communities distinguish her as the logical choice for GNOME.

Karen will have a wide range of responsibilities at the Foundation,
including strengthening and growing our infrastructure, working with
the Board of Directors, Advisory Board members, GNOME Foundation
members and other GNOME supporters to create an awesome free and open
source desktop that is easy to use and provide a strong development
platform, and accelerating the adoption of GNOME and strengthening the
Foundation by attracting new industry members and community
contributors.
