#OSI does nothing these days. Maybe better this... than their attack on the #freesw movement and #openwashing of criminal #microsoft ... pushing people to adopt the very things which ATTACK "Open Source"
#osi
... to make matters worse, #Microsoft is double-dipping with bribes to #OSI , both as "GitHub" and Microsoft
Sadly, #OSI already has a #Microsoft 'mole' (Aeva Black) inside its board. So you know where OSI might be going...
#OSI is corrupt, so it attracts some of the corrupt like #microsoft and its #linuxfoundation https://www.linux.com/audience/iso-establishes-sbom-standard-for-open-source-development-with-spdx/ see http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/ISO
Leak: FSFE and OSI Coordinate Rubbing Off Free Software by Saying “Open Source” is the Same (It’s Not, Same False Argument From 20 Years Earlier) • 𝕋𝕖𝕔𝕙𝕣𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥𝕤 ⚓ http://techrights.org/2020/08/23/osi-fsfe-collusion-and-coordination/ earlier this year #osi and #fsfe ganged up again... against #RMS and #FSF (by extension)
Having said that, #OSI #PracticalOpenSource itself is quite the farce: http://techrights.org/2021/08/12/diversity-as-a-product-on-sale/
If you were not sure whether #OSI is compromised or not, remember most of its budget goes towards boosting #microsoft #proprietarySoftware like #github (ClearlyDefined), WHICH ENCOURAGES #GPLVIOLATIONS ... from defenders of "Open Source" def. or licences to BOOSTERS of their VIOLATION
There are positives in today’s announcement about new #OSI leadership (or full-time member of staff), but time will tell if promise turns into concrete results • TɘↄHᴙigHTꙅ ⚓ http://techrights.org/2021/09/08/stefano-maffulli-statement/ ䷉ #Techrights #OpenSource #Openwashing #FreeSW | ♾ Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/09/08/stefano-maffulli-statement/
#Techrights Statement on #StefanoMaffulli as Executive Director of #OSI http://techrights.org/2021/09/08/stefano-maffulli-statement/ @smaffulli needs to be bold and I trust him to assess the situation. Patrick did a good job.
To be clear, I was actually RELIVED to learn Stefano would be at #OSI because I consider him to be OK https://maffulli.net/2007/10/23/is-microsoft-tamed-yet/

It certainly feels like #IBM is managing the purge of the #Freesoftware community (not just by proxy, e.g. #OSI and #GNOMEFoundation ) and people needed to ask IBM for ‘permission’ to be removed from a letter they had signed (with several days for approval to be given) http://techrights.org/2021/08/28/rms-petition-self-purge/
You can enable overt #racism for ICE and then use some of the ICE money to lie to the public and improve the corporate image, thanks to the ‘services’ just offered by the OSI; they’ve reduced “Inclusion and Diversity” into a paid-for lie Open Source Initiative: Pay Us $6,000 and We’ll Present You as Supporting Diversity • 𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 ⚓ http://techrights.org/2021/08/12/diversity-as-a-product-on-sale/ ䷉ #Techrights #OSI | ♾ Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/08/12/diversity-as-a-product-on-sale/

#OSI 2019-2020: OSI co-founder left, other OSI co-founder banned by corporate coup plotters, GM of OSI resigns (he's sole member of staff!), now they cannot even run an election.
