Watching the OSI: Our Series Will Carry on Irrespective of the Chief's 'Resignation'
2 days ago: Stefano Maffulli, Executive Director of the Open Source Initiative, Resigns or Gets Removed (We'll Continue Covering OSI Scandals) | What Ruben Amorim and Stefano Maffulli Have in Common
Yesterday: The New Head of OSI is an "Hey Hi" (AI) Obsessed Person
We are currently doing a months-long recap of OSI scandals, leading up to the 'resignation' (no cause specified) of Stefano Mafulli.
The scandals did not start with the rogue election of 2025. They had already begun several years ago when OSI got partly taken over by Microsoft through money with strings (we've just noticed that Microsoft still funds the so-called "FSFE", even via "GitHub", which is an integral part of Microsoft [1, 2] so the disclosure is dishonest/outdated).
OSI needs to be replaced by something more suitable. As we noted earlier this year, the OSI isn't even the real guardian of the term "Open Source". It relies on many people thinking or believing that it is. █
