Willis: Engaging with the OSI Elections 2022.1

Post Syndicated from original https://lwn.net/Articles/893284/

Nathan Willis took
a long look
at the Open Source Initiative’s 2022 board election and
wasn’t entirely pleased with what he saw.

So it’s a troubling ballot to look at. There’s an ostensibly
non-profit organization that’s an official OSI affiliate trying to
run its CEO as an individual candidate while also running a second
member (a board director) on the appropriate, affiliate ballot in
the same election. There’s also two financial sponsors running
candidates on the individual ballot, one of them (Red Hat) running
two candidates at the same time for the two open seats.
