Rosanna Yuen

Rosanna Yuen is the Director of Operations of the GNOME Foundation. She has been a long-time GNOME user dating back to the 0.12 days and wrote many of the card games in AisleRiot thereby earning her the distinction of being the first female contributor to GNOME. Originally hired part-time between Executive Directors, she has kept the Foundation running for over a dozen years.

Her role has largely been to fill the gaps between the Foundation and the community. She has served on many committees and worked closely with the GNOME board throughout her tenure. She acts as the long-term memory of the Foundation and can often be counted on to give historical context to Board meetings. She currently also serves on the Code of Conduct and Engagement committees.

She lives in a Windows- and Apple-free household in California. In her spare time, Rosanna knits, reads, does crosswords, and wishes she actually has spare time.
