Members Newsletter – April 2026
Dear OSI supporters,
The news you’ve all been waiting for has arrived – OSI’s new Executive Director, Duane O’Brien, is on the job effective April 13th.
Many of you may already know Duane. For those who have not yet had the pleasure, Duane is a long-time Open Source leader with nearly 25 years of experience as a technologist, community advocate and strategist. It’s been a pleasure to have personally worked with Duane and to have directly witnessed his engagement, contribution and support for so many aspects of the Open Source ecosystem over the past decade. I am both grateful and excited to leave OSI’s future in his hands.
It’s been a privilege to have served as OSI’s interim ED over the past six months and to have worked with its team of gifted Open Source professionals. Many thanks to the team for the time together, and thanks to the many stakeholders who lent support through the leadership transition time. The best of OSI is yet to come!
