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 Hey, Bradley, we already started a review of old licenses a year ago. It's been taking some time since there are a LOT of old licenses. I take it this is something you'd want to be involved in?
Catch: we're using proprietary software to track the review.

I'd like to take a step back & design the right structure. I'd prefer a non-partisan “Appeals Court” model for this, triggered by written appeal requests, rather than blanket review done in same manner as the original license approvals.
IOW, I hope OSI'll establish a check-and-balance procedure on the entire existing license review process.
But I'm open minded on the methods & means: Glad to discuss more if I'm elected!
