Yay Emmanuele!! As long as nobody minds, I think I'll mention what I'm sure everyone already knows: funding free software hackers, is probably one of the best ways to improve free software, so I'm happy that the foundation is leading by example! One question: is Emmanuele given any particular tasks or direction for GTK+, eg: does the GNOME foundation have any specific priorities they'd like to address, or is it more self-directed? Thanks again, and keep it up! Can't wait till there is a second developer on board.

New GNOME Foundation employee - GTK+ Core Developer
Dear Foundation members, After a long and robust recruitment process, I'm very pleased to announce our first new staff member in a while. Emmanuele Bassi will be joining us tomorrow (3rd December) to take on the role of GTK+ Core Developer! Emmanuele has a long history of contributions to GTK, and has been a Foundation member himself for over 12 years. Previously working at Endless, Mozilla and Intel, where he contributed to many components of the GNOME core development platform, I'm happy to bring him on board to continue his commitment to the project. I'm sure you'll all give him a warm welcome in this new role! Thanks, Neil -- Neil McGovern Executive Director, The GNOME Foundation ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
