What does the OSI actually do nowadays?<p>They were important in the past for advocacy and awareness, but open source is now a household word, so what is the actual purpose of OSI, and is it even useful?<p>Does being on their shitlist prevent you from contributing to open source projects? No.<p>Would open source projects die without their support? I doubt it.<p>So is it any wonder that in their loss of mission they've become ossified and bureaucratic, doing the modern day equivalent of arguing over how many angels can dance on the end of a pin?
