The nominations for the Open Source Initiative board of elections just closed, March 6th. It’s time for voters to meet the candidates.
The OSI board of directors will renew three of its seats with an open election process among its full individual members and affiliates. We will be holding two elections:
- Individual members will elect two directors
- Affiliate organizations will elect one director
We encourage members to check out the list of Individual and Affiliate Candidates below. Read about their backgrounds and interest in serving on the board.
Each candidate page also features a comments section: OSI members can ask candidates about their plans, hopes, and views for the OSI (don’t endorse candidates there please).
Take advantage of the ability to ask questions as it’s the best way for you to learn about each candidate and what they hope to achieve as board members of the OSI.
Individual candidates:
Affiliate candidates:
- Gael Blondelle (proposed by Open Forum Europe)
- Gabriele Columbro (proposed by Linux Foundation)
- Matt Jarvis (proposed by OpenUK)
- Anne-Marie Scott (proposed by Apereo Foundation)
Next steps
Voting opens this Friday, March 10. Individual full members and affiliate representatives will receive a ballot via email with instructions on how to vote. Only individuals who are Full Members at the time voting opens may vote in the Individual election. Only the official representative of the OSI Affiliates may vote in the Affiliate election, one vote per Affiliate. More details on the elections page.

@osi thank you to the OSI Board and staff for all their work in this year’s elections. Also thank you to all the candidates who are running.#OpenSource is a community activity. I urge you to take this opportunity to support “our” #OSS projects, “our” peer community, and “our” collaborative work by voting!

@osi That’s quite a slate. Microsoft wants two people on the board again, Linux Foundation has two senior staff candidates running and OpenUK wants a second person to not show up at board meetings. And Jagielski – who rage-quit last time – is back again to add another Board to his tally now Apache won’t have him. You sure you have this election thing worked out right?

@osiNone are on the fediverse?
@osi Is an affiliate board member stepping down after this term? Who’s being replaced by the affiliate member voting?
Mastodon is mostly a leftist echo chamber begging for more #corporate #welfare.
I really don’t trust anything about your organization and from I see you are mostly driven by corporations.
Not even sure who liked your post or follows you, but I’m going to #unfollow them. #fail
