OSI Board Changes 2013

Open Source Initiative (OSI) president Simon Phipps has posted a brief announcement on the OSI blog describing upcoming changes to the OSI governance process and the makeup of the board. "One of the ways we're turning OSI into a member organisation is to gradually replace the Board with member-selected directors. This process started last year when OSI's Affiliate members -- non-profit organizations themselves -- selected candidates for the Board." Two new vacancies on the board will be filled by election, and the OSI board is meeting in Washington DC next week to discuss further changes. Phipps notes: "If you would like to meet them, please come to OSI's DC Metro Open Source Community Summit on May 10."
