I have to disagree. The reason for the speculation is not the rumor. The reason for the speculation is a misguided sense that there's some sort of absolute right to know about these things. Jimmy's right: it makes sense that board or upper level management positions are discussed among the project community (although I would not consider this list to be a useful forum of community discussion). It does not, however, make sense that this principle be applied to someone responsible for office IT. I don't know what the reasons were for why this particular employment is scheduled to end. And there's no reason that I or anyone other than those directly involved with it internally to the foundation should know. It's a simple case of none-of-your-business.
