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/
