OSI
Open Source Initiative
OSI was conceived as a general educational and advocacy organization to execute the same mission agreed on at the Free Software Summit held in April 1998. At the launch meeting, the original Board accepted this general mission and decided to focus specifically on explaining and protecting the “open source” label. Some early activism was done as well, with OSI supporting a petition to encourage the US government to use open source software in Jan. of 1999.
