There's nothing irrational per se about the comittee excluding Bruce Perens in spite of his own very high estimation of the value he would bring to the process. There's also nothing magical about the OSI. If people don't like the results they should just ignore them. For what little difference it makes, I will be ignoring the OSI whether or not I like the results, just like I ignore all other self-appointed organisations that puport to speak on my behalf.

Rationality Posted Aug 25, 2005 22:04 UTC (Thu) by ncm (subscriber, #165) [Link] Rejecting Bruce doesn't demonstrate irrationality, it's just consistent with the already observed pattern. The point is that as long as there's no public competing voice, their claims to legitimately control the definition of "Open Source" appear to stand. Once there are two contradictory voices it becomes much easier for a casual observer to dismiss the stranger one (or both) as irrelevant.
