Submission + - Bruce Perens Aims for OSI Executive (techp.org) 1
mutube writes: "Open Source advocate Bruce Perens began petititioning for support in election to the OSI Executive Board. As a self-electing board, demonstrable community support is needed to attain a seat. Perens is standing on a platform of reducing over-representation of vendors to help balance leadership to developers who are traditionally elsewhere. He argues that this will help reassert the importance of developers in the Open Source world and ensure their ongoing rights to the direction of both their code and the concept itself.
In his petition notice, Bruce suggests that recent Open Source involvement by Microsoft could lead to them being offered a place on the board. With a background fighting SCO and Novell-Microsoft patent agreements, is Bruce the best man to take them on? Who else would you want on your side?"
