Satire or not, it does raise a few points that seem valid. Particularly that “She does not seem to have any experience with GNOME or Linux. In fact… she does not seem to have any experience related to software. At all. In any way.”
Based on the official blog it looks more like GNOME hired her as “an experienced communicator and fundraiser”. So maybe they don’t care whether she even owns a computer as long as she can raise money and woo investors?

honestly, from a business point of view, this makes some sense, but yeah, a bit out-of-touch with the community
if it’s actually true that is!
Thanks for that link, it gave a bit more context into what OP was talking about.
The article does link to this archive.org link, which seems to back the title.
On the other hand, I also see articles like: KDE Foundation hires Dwarf Paladin as new Executive Director, which make me agree that this seems to be a bit on the malicious side.
It does make me want to dig around a bit now though.
