GNOME executive director Steven Deobald steps down, Allan Day takes on the role:
phoronix.com/news/Steven-Deoba…
(That's really sad, based on what I heard, Steven has been one of the best executive directors in the past couple of years, he had pretty solid plans which would greatly help the foundation come out of the crisis they face right now. Hope Allan will continue Steven's work, implement his plans in practice. It's pretty weird though, why all executive directors leave after a few months, I think the community would deserve some explanation about what's going on beyond the scenes, since the GNOME project is mainly driven by the community, we are your stakeholders, GNOME.)

Not really. I've always had a second pronunciation for many words tucked away in my head: pronounced as if every letter in the word had a logical sound. That's something that just comes naturally.
On the other hand, I was 15 by the time I figured out how to add and subtract numbers containing more than one digit.

- dans le secteur Betton/Chevaigné afin que les enfants puissent continuer à être autonomes pour aller au collège. »
