#2How could you shaman shame?

#3This just seems like FUD. Either she's suitable for the role or she's not, and the measure of that isn't the presence or absence of shamanism in the resume, but what she's able to do. The proof is in the pudding.

#4Shaman is what autocorrect turns "systemctl" into. It's not that complicated.

In principle it isn't any more unhinged than the millions of people we work with who think Christianity or Judaism are real. If her Shamanism makes you uncomfortable, this is how many of us non religious people feel about all of you all the time.

#7Does the person running the GNOME foundation need to know anything about software? Does anyone in the organization?
Even the actual software parts of GNOME are all about staying between the user and the real software that does work. It can be argued that function was never a goal, the purpose is to promise, not deliver.
The Foundation seems like the same thing but writ larger: suck up money and "support" from everywhere they can, make sure none of it is wasted doing anything real. AFAIK this is the form all nonprofits mature into within days to at most a few years of formation.
This person's skills may be perfectly on point for the true job she now holds.

If it were shamanism as one aspect of her background, sure it’s FUD. If shamanism is her only apparent background… then concern is the only correct response.
“a professional shaman, an artist, an herbal medicine maker, and a micro-homesteader” as the background for gnome kind of needs some justification, because it’s very unclear what anyone was thinking here

Yeah. Everyone launches some unconventional side hustle at some point. As a shaman, her track record can't be worse than the average psychiatrist (who have yet to cure any single mental illness they themselves identified).
Posing as a theocrat to soak up the money of the gullible is nothing new. Plenty of people in this scene are ordained priests in the church of Satan, UU and others; BFD.
The woman managing ARKK claims to take investment advice from God himself. That one, I'd be more wary of.
