Stormy Peters becomes the GNOME Executive Director

The GNOME Foundation has announced that it's long search for an executive director is over: Stormy Peters has accepted the job. "The past year there has seen tremendous growth in the number of devices that ship with GNOME- mass-market laptops, phones, and even GPS devices. Hiring Stormy as executive director will help GNOME capitalize on this momentum, exactly at a time when more of the world is realizing the value of combining free and open source software with great user experiences, while also helping GNOME consolidate its traditional strengths in enterprise and other large-scale deployments."

I'd never heard of Stormy before she was appointed ED fro Gnome. From the announcement, it
sounds like she's been doing a lot of open source work behind the curtains. An LWN interview
might be a good read.

Previously she had acted as HP's representative on the GNOME Foundation Board (before she left
HP).  She has been involved in GNOME for a long time.
