Some time before leaving SPI, Bruce assigned the mark to me. Applicants should be senior and respected members of the hacker community with an interest in open-source advocacy. Experience in project leadership or running a successful volunteer organization will be considered a plus. Ability to speak for a sub-community not represented on the existing board will be a plus. We are willing to expand the board to as many as nine or ten members, but will be demanding about qualifications.
Many adventures lie ahead.
We hope that you will give the Open Source Initiative the same support and trust that I and the other individuals in the campaign have so far benefited from. We will always do our utmost to be worthy of that support and trust.
