"I am left wondering whether some subtle sexism has sneaked into the reporting on Conservancy."

Extreme feminists strike again in the world of political correctness where women demand being allowed wear anything they want without being objectified but at the same time have individuals like Matt Taylor who btw landed a spacecraft on comet apologist for a shirt he was wearing during an interview in hours leading to the contact [1].

I'm going to raise my hand and applaud to people like you and say wow just wow and thank you for reminding me how much progress remains yet to be accomplished here on Earth.

More likely the confusion is due to your own actions where you yourself [2] are running around the internet signing your responses as the president of the software freedom conservancy than Jon being sexist...

"— Bradley M. Kuhn, President, Software Freedom Conservancy"

Your first paragraph is needlessly off topic, but you're right there could be some confusion about roles. From what I can tell Bradley's role is President, but Karen's is Executive Director. However, SFC's officers page, as of this morning, still had Karen's role prominently listed as Secretary in a heading. The paragraph under her heading lists her role correctly, but at a glance it would be confusing.

Charles, you might want to read Conservancy's by-laws (on our filings page), to understand the corporate officer roles. Most non-profit have these corporate officer roles separate from day-to-day management and execution of regular daily activities of the org. At most non-profits, the Executive Director doesn't report to the President, rather, the Executive Director reports to the Board as a whole.
