Open Source Initiative joins the Digital Public Goods Alliance
What does it mean?
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has a long history of advocating for the use of open source software and promoting the adoption of open source licenses. The organization played a key role in the development and proliferation of the open source movement, and its work has been instrumental in making open source software a viable alternative to proprietary software.
The OSI's decision to join the Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA) as a strategic partner represents a continuation of its mission to promote open source software as a critical component of the digital ecosystem. By working with the DPGA, the OSI can leverage its expertise in open source licensing and governance to support the development and deployment of digital public goods.
As someone who has followed the work of the OSI for many years, I'm thrilled to see the organization continuing to push for greater recognition and adoption of open source software. The partnership between the OSI and the DPGA is an important step forward in ensuring that open source software is given the attention and recognition it deserves as a key enabler of digital public goods.
