Back in February 2024 (that long ago?!?), Stefano gave a talk to GTALUG:
The Future of Linux User Groups and Open Source Advocacy with Stefano Maffulli, Executive Director of the Open Source Initiative
I saw his name come up in a Brodie Robertson video today.

Basically, the OSI had an election recently, it was a mess, and the OSAID (Open Source Artificial Intelligence Definition) was a bit of a contention.
It does appear that something needs to happen at OSI (preferably a do-over of the entire election process), but I only have this video with its copious showing of messages and blog posts on the topic, so I'm not an expert.
However, I thought some here might be interested, it's quite a story.
LWN covered it a while back - https://lwn.net/Articles/1014603/ (Also a shameless plug for LWN, do subscribe if you have the means to, it is probably the best linux site out there) Dhaval
