Open Source Initiative Changes Leaders
The Open Source Initiative announced Tuesday that it is replacing its longtime president, Eric S. Raymond, and other officers.
The moves are part of the group's plans to expand its activities beyond its management of the Open Source Definition and the certification of open-source licenses to include creating a registry of open-source software projects and defining "open standards" that are consistent with open source.
The OSI is the group behind open-source licenses. Approval from the OSI is necessary before any software license can be considered open-source.
