OSI Board Addition May Bring Needed Change
,----[ Quote ]
| When Simon Phipps says people have been
| critical of the Open Source Initiative, I'm
| pretty sure I'm one of the critics to which
| he's referring.
|
| The OSI has been one of those organizations
| that seemed to fall short of its true
| potential, which is always a source of
| frustration; you want them to succeed, and
| don't understand when things go awry. It's
| particularly difficult to stand by and watch
| it happen to people whom you genuinely
| respect, like Michael Tiemann, Danese
| Cooper, and Phipps himself, who has this
| week has been elected to the Board of
| Directors, effective April 1. They, and
| other members of the OSI board, are
| individually very smart and more than
| capable of spearheading the open source
| governance body.

| things out of it."

|
| "What these projects have in common is that people are sharing the
| recipes," Torrone said, "and it's starting to fall under (a) category,
| which is open-source hardware."
|
| Fried said the concept involved several levels of technology, the
| foundation being basic mechanics. She said that kind of information
| can be publicly released under a Creative Commons license, and she
| hoped more people would begin using open-source computer-aided
| design to create such projects.
