Luke Missed the Memo

tl;dr The OSI is not being arbitrary and capricious.
Disclosure / advertisement: I work for Sentry.

This is a response to Luke Faraone’s post, “I’m running for the OSI board… maybe.” (HN, X, bsky). I tried leaving this as a comment on Luke’s blog, but only members of the blog may post comments.

And yes I’m running. Vote March 7! :-)

My Comment for Luke’s Blog

I received the following email from OSI on February 14. It looks to me like a generic email sent to the whole membership list, and the timezone is clearly defined. Were you a member of OSI on February 14? Did you receive this email?

(Your post does explain some of Bradley’s questions on the call. ;-)
