Strypey"I would recommend — with no expectation that this will ever happen — a revolt by OSI’s dues-paying members and suggest that they hold back on paying those dues while making demands on the current leadership to do away with the Trumpian loyalty agreement that forces opposition board members to publicly show support to policies they privately abhor."<a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/ChristineHall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristineHall</a>, 2025<a href="https://fossforce.com/2025/03/osis-questionable-election-returns-questionable-results/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fossforce.com/2025/03/osis-questionable-election-returns-questionable-results/</a>(1/2)<a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/OSI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OSI</a>

tanteEnsuring Open Source AI thrives under the EU’s new AI rules – Open Source InitiativeThe Open Source Initiative is doing … something again, now it’s working against regulation protecting people from certain uses of AI systems:<blockquote>In particular, previous drafts of the Code of Practice mandated acceptable use policies, and a prohibition of certain uses of the AI system. But having these restrictions conflicts with the freedom of use that Open Source guarantees, in particular, rule 6 of the Open Source Definition (No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor). This would mean developers would have to choose between complying with the Code of Practice or being Open Source.</blockquote>Source: <a href="https://opensource.org/blog/ensuring-open-source-ai-thrives-under-the-eus-new-ai-rules" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ensuring Open Source AI thrives under the EU’s new AI rules – Open Source Initiative</a>Thank you OSI.

"This board agreement has existed for five years in its current form, but it is the first time that candidates decided to run while publicly communicating they would not sign it". I never communicated that I wouldn't sign the board agreement (I don't think <a href="https://floss.social/@bkuhn" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bkuhn</a> did either). As I have said elsewhere, at the outset of the vote I assumed I'd sign it if invited to join the board following publication of vote results. (cont.)
