I have to disagree. The reason for the speculation is not the rumor. The
reason for the speculation is a misguided sense that there's some sort of
absolute right to know about these things. Jimmy's right: it makes sense
that board or upper level management positions are discussed among the
project community (although I would not consider this list to be a useful
forum of community discussion). It does not, however, make sense that this
principle be applied to someone responsible for office IT.
I don't know what the reasons were for why this particular employment is
scheduled to end. And there's no reason that I or anyone other than those
directly involved with it internally to the foundation should know. It's a
simple case of none-of-your-business.
