My point, which perhaps I didn't make clear, was that Microsoft's employees don't (currently) make the kind of contribution to Open Source that might get them considered for the OSI board. That whatever contributions they make were not "substantial" enough to get that kind of consideration. It wasn't meant to be a bash at MS or MS employees really. jake

bashing MS or MS employees, generally Posted Mar 24, 2008 21:16 UTC (Mon) by ncm (subscriber, #165) [Link] ... not that there would be anything wrong with that.
Bruce Perens and the OSI board Posted Mar 24, 2008 22:43 UTC (Mon) by BrucePerens (subscriber, #2510) [Link] Jake,OSI has certified two Microsoft licenses. Microsoft claims that they are officially active in Open Source. So, I'm not sure you were on base at all. You also completely neglected my comment during our interview that Matt, who sets the program for OSBC, gave Microsoft the keynote speech. I had some IMO concrete reasons to be worried. Look at the farce MS is running in ISO, which is all about ballot-box manipulation of organizations. Bruce
