<h2>Executive Director</h2>
<p>
Stormy Peters is the GNOME Foundation's executive director. She is tasked
with managing and growing the GNOME Foundation as an organization.
Working with the Board of Directors, Advisory Board, and the GNOME
Foundation members, Stormy will help strengthen the Foundation by
attracting new industry members and community contributors to create an
awesome, easy-to-use, free and open source desktop, a strong development
platform and accelerate the adoption of GNOME. Stormy's combination of
industry expertise and community background will enable the Foundation to
extend its outreach to industry, sponsors and the community, as well as
increasing contact with new constituencies like mobile developers and
governments considering deploying GNOME.
</p>
<p>
As an open source advocate, Stormy has established relationships with the
open source community and industry sponsors, including GNOME. Stormy has
been involved with the GNOME Foundation, having been one of the founding
members of the GNOME Foundation Advisory Board in 2000 and a keynote
speaker at last year's GUADEC. Her previous positions include that of
Open Source Program Manager at Hewlett-Packard and Director of Community
and partner programs at OpenLogic.
