2022 OSI Board Election Results
The polls just closed, the results are in. Congratulations to the elected directors: Pamela Chestek, Carlo Piana, Josh Berkus and Amanda Brock.
Pamela Chestek has been confirmed and is joined by Carlo Piana as the directors elected by the Affiliate organizations. Josh Berkus and Amanda Brock collected the votes of the Individual members.
The OSI thanks all of those who participated in the 2022 board elections by casting a ballot and asking questions to the candidates. We also want to extend our sincerest gratitude to all of those who stood for election. Each year the OSI is honored with an incredible slate of candidates who step forward from across the open source software community to support the OSI's work, and advance the OSI's mission. The 2022 nominees were again, remarkable: experts from a variety of fields and technologies with diverse skills and experience gained from working across the open source community. The OSI is honored to include each of the candidates in our 2022 election.
We would also like to recognize and thank Josh Simmons, Megan Byrd-Sanicki and Italo Vignoli who are leaving the OSI board. We hope the entire open source software community will join us in thanking them for their service and their leadership. The OSI and the open source software movement are better off because of their contributions and commitment, and we thank them.
Next steps
The board of directors will meet before March 31st to formalize the election results. The new board members will be invited to a series of onboarding meetings to get to know the internal tools of the organization and familiarize with the mission, vision and strategy of the organization. And to know each other and the staff.
We’ll also run a post-mortem analysis of the voting process and tools we used to keep improving.
