Bruce Perens Aims For OSI Executive

mutube writes "Open Source advocate Bruce Perens began petitioning for support in election to the OSI Executive Board. Because it's a self-electing board, demonstrable community support is needed to attain a seat. Perens is standing on a platform of reducing over-representation of vendors in OSI leadership in favor of developers. In his petition notice, Perens suggests that recent Open Source involvement by Microsoft could lead to their being offered a place on the board. With his background fighting SCO and the Novell-Microsoft patent agreements, Perens would be a good counter-balance."

According to the internets, Dextrocardia is believed to occur in approximately 1 in 100 people.

Your 99% figure for MSFT therefore has a ring of truth, if not truthiness.

And even if you weren't, I'm guessing "Ares the Impaler" would not be high on your list of candidates.
