Open Source Initiative affiliates announced at FOSDEM

“For example, in March, three board positions will open up at
the OSI and it is hoped the affiliates will propose people to fill
those positions as part of reshaping the way the organisation
works. The OSI has been attempting to reform for three years and
despite various initiatives, this has stalled. Phipps, on becoming
an OSI director, set out to revitalise these efforts as he sees a
future for a new OSI with a broad community membership and a
mission to educate governments, organisations and people about the
benefits of software freedom. Some of the original plans have not
come to fruition, but the advisory affiliates appears to have been
established in time to have influence over the organisation’s
direction.”
