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 …

Five of the 11 board seats are nominated and voted on by OSI Affiliate members (non-profit foundations). Five othera nominated and voted on by individual members. OSI G.M. is an ex. officio member of the board.

I know how the board election in OSI works. That's not the issue. The issue is that the current board doesn't have strong ties to actual producers of the majority of OS (well that plus the fact that
@TheASF is staying out of affiliate business).1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

OSI has the current DPL, staff from FSF & TDF & WMF & from RH. It previously had the Eclipse ED. It's an elected rather than appointed Board so to change that get an affiliate to nominate your choice of candidate.

My understanding is that an affiliate can nominate anyone, correct? Nominee doesn't have to be affiliated with an affiliate?

Correct, although there has been a connection for everyone nominated that way so far. Mozilla nominated me and my connection is as a one time contractor (but long term friend).

hey, I've tried a couple of times to get on the OSI board to represent the affiliate/corporate angle (which I thinks more representation on the OSI) :p

Right. Which gets us back to the original problem that started this thread. While the current OSI model is not horrible I *really* think the structure should be rethought a bit. Maybe
