OSI's 2025 Election: Transparency Crisis Shakes Open Source Trust

2025-04-25

The Open Source Initiative (OSI)'s 2025 board elections are embroiled in controversy. OSI removed votes for three candidates after the voting period, severely damaging its credibility. The core issue involves a reform platform pushed by three candidates (including a former OSI director) proposing to repeal the newly adopted Open Source AI Definition and revise the board member agreement. OSI's last-minute requirement for candidates to sign the agreement, with a short deadline, disqualified some candidates. Critics claim this violates election procedures, lacks transparency, and suggests a conflict of interest. Community speculation about OSI's motives and potential corruption has intensified, leading to demands for the release of unaltered election results to restore trust and credibility.
