Results of 2023 elections of OSI board of directors

The polls just closed, the results are in. Congratulations to the returning directors Aeva Black, and Catharina Maracke, and the newly elected director Anne-Marie Scott.

Anne-Marie Scott has been confirmed and joins as a director elected by the Affiliate organizations. She’ll take the seat that was occupied by Hong-Phuc Dang who resigned in June 2022. Aeva Black and Catharina Maracke collected the votes of the Individual members.

The OSI thanks all of those who participated in the 2023 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. We were once again honored with an incredible slate of candidates who stepped forward from across the open source software community to support the OSI’s work, and advance the OSI’s mission. The 2023 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. We hope the entire Open Source software community will join us in thanking them for their service and their leadership. We’re better off because of their contributions and commitment, and we thank them.

Next steps

The board of directors will formalize the election results in an ad-hoc meeting. The new board member 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.
