Ok, is it me or is it really weird that @OpenSourceOrg doesn't have anybody on its board with strong ties to any of the 5 major open source foundations: @TheASF @EclipseFdn @linuxfoundation @mozila and @fsf ? https://opensource.org/docs/board-annotated …

Good point on
@mmillions. So at least@fsf is represented. Still my point stands for the other 4 most influential open source foundations. Your argument that you have a few alums doesn't really address my issues (unless you keep alums as advisors)3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Not speaking of OSI specifically, but what is strange is that most of the go-to "experts" and "leaders" within
#opensource now are people without any opensource development experience at all. Sure, not all contributions are code, but it's weird nonetheless.2 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -
Please do tell me more about my (and my esteemed colleagues..) lack of open source development.

Whilst flattering and genuinely appreciate the sentiment I still think that's a misleading impression/dichotomy about how one can contribute to free software.

That impression/dichotomy is certainly not being proposed or exposed by myself nor many, many others that I know.

Not for nothing, but "influential" seems highly subjective.
