Holly brings three decades of invaluable experience in nonprofit management, having served as a consultant, director of development, executive director, and board member for numerous organizations. Notably, she founded the nonprofit organization Artists United, dedicated to empowering individual artists and fostering collaboration across artistic disciplines for the collective good. Additionally, Holly served as the Executive Director of the BioBricks Foundation, an international, open-source biotechnology nonprofit.

The rest of her merits seem reasonable for the position. The post also says she has a masters degree in education and a bachelors degree in English from Harvard. I have to assume that the GNOME Foundation put a lot of thought into this based on interviews and investigation that we're not publicly privy to, and it's not as simple as "GNOME is stupid and they hired a crackpot shaman off the street haha!" People can do great things at their job without adhering to your specific worldview in their personal life.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
