[$] OSI election ends with unsatisfying results

The Open Source Initiative(OSI) has announcedthe results of its recent board of directors election. Ruth Suehle andMcCoy Smith are new to the board, while Carlo Piana will serve anotherterm. The results, however, seem tainted in the eyes of someparticipants and observers. The election has been plagued by misstepsfrom the beginning. It has culminated with the exclusion of threecandidates for failing to meet a requirement to sign the OSI board agreement, which was added after the election was over and before results were tallied or announced.
