Every semi persistent grouping of individuals has leadership even if informal and redhat and the gnome foundation have defined leadership structures.
- awrmc 5y agoBut that's the whole thing. Redhat and the foundation don't have any leadership over a decentralized group of open source developers. Gnome is not like the Linux kernel where there's one giant repository with one lead maintainer serving as a bottleneck. There are individuals who hold more influence but that's more because a lot of other volunteers chose to follow them, not because they seized power from anybody.
