Job description and application link: https://blog.metabrainz.org/2026/04/14/seeking-a-new-executive-director/
Thank you to Giampiero Di Carlo, the editor of Rockol, who gave us permission to repost this article remembering Rob, the founder of MusicBrainz: https://blog.metabrainz.org/2026/03/10/hes-the-man-who-made-music-metadata-free/
Thank you to everyone who has shared their memories of Rob.
The team wanted to share some of his MetaBrainz story and our personal experiences with the master of mayhem, and this blog post has emerged:

We miss you Rob.
We dropped a couple of new merch designs today! To add to the recent drop of summit shirt illustrations.
As well as a ‘new notes!?’ sticker/magnet there is a new “I made 1,000 edits and all I got was this lousy T-shirt” design, and a 100,000 edit version. Rumour has it there are secret versions of this shirt available for super high-scorers…
New merch drop!
monkey's beautiful summit designs are now live! Previously only available to #MetaBrainz summit attendees, they have now been adjusted for cool daily wear for cool people.
Choose your fighter: synth, bollywood, psychedelic, vaporwave or black metal

There is a job description but I wanted to write something more about my friend Rob Kaye and what he built. And why who we choose as our new Executive Director will be essential to what comes next." - Matthew Hawn

OK, the GSoC chaos is getting too much.
Important: If you can't follow meeting etiquette then joining the meeting will *not* do your GSoC application any favours! -a
