I am a candidate for the “Affiliate” seat in the 2025 #OpenSource Initiative (OSI) Board of Directors election.
I am running on a Shared Platform for OSI Reform with @richardfontana
You can read that shared platform here: https://codeberg.org/OSI-Reform-Platform/platform#readme
I will post news and updates about the campaign here and on this blog post (that will be updated regularly until the voting closes):

@bkuhn @richardfontana I think I agree to all of this except the five-ten year study aspect. Everyone already knows what real "open source" AI is, just be brave and get the OSI to formally state it. Best of luck to you!
@purpleidea
We picked that range because that's about how long the OSD itself took to go from "We should have a Definition" to being finalized. Really OSD took about 15, but some would say 5 and others would say 10, so we said 5-10.
@bkuhn I gotcha. But we learned a lot since then, and it's pretty obvious to me that a brain like Fontana could write a new OSAID in like 5 min.
I agree @richardfontana is one of the most brilliant individuals in the FOSS community.
However, for complex and new issues that change the nature of (at least some forms of) computing, there is absolutely no substitute for spending *lots* of wall-clock time thinking and considering before coming to final conclusions.
