does anyone know when is the logo inargurated? Xah Lee 09:16, 2005 May 8 (UTC)
See my comments today related to making OSI external link more prominent at: [Talk:Open_source] that relate to this page. Fholson 13:02, 6 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fholson ( talk • contribs)
Image:Opensource.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image:Osi-certified.jpg will be deleted in seven days on the 26th if no one writes a real

What's an "OSI board alumni"? -- Damiens.rf 19:24, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Uh, I'm a noob. and please forgive my not doing edits quite the right way. I added one sentence about OSI's corporate suspension to the history section. The suspension is easily verified by visiting the CA secretary of state site: kepler.sos.ca.gov and typing in "open source initiative" as the search term. I couldn't find a "permalink" so what is the right way to cite that site? Thank you in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.236.81.17 ( talk) 01:06, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Full disclosure: ESR was banned from the mailing list for harassing me.
I'm not sure why creators leaving the org or being banned from the mailing list is here. It's not accurate as neither of them were really involved beforehand. It definitely shouldn't be 25% of the history section.
While I'm happy to provide additional context to assist other editors in improvement, I believe I personally have a conflict of interest, particularly as it relates to ESR being banned from the list, so I don't want to edit that part of the article. Hammy ( talk) 02:28, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Please replace the content of the page with User:Buidhe paid/Open Source Initiative.
Reason: Currently, the article is mainly based on the OSI website. My version cuts out the primary sourced cruft and instead adds all the independent sourcing + analysis I was able to find. Buidhe paid ( talk) 02:33, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
