Building and coordinating a team to support the GNOME project is one of the most fulfilling job I've had.
I find these are some of the biggest challenges
• Lots of people and organizations to coordinate with 🗺️
• Some projects are cans of worms 🥫🐛
• So many things to do 🏃
But it's very rewarding and everyone is brilliant and passionate.
I think I'll start sharing more personal updates on our efforts
