Not sure why those are top 5, but @mmillions is a @FSF employee (probably'd prefer not to be called "open source" foundation), @EclipseFdn ED @mmilinkov's term ended this year. @Apache's @jimjag is a board alum.
Current reps from @debian @Wikimedia, @tdforg (x2) @perlfoundation
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) - 6 more replies

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). - 7 more replies
