<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all -</div><div><br></div><div>I've mostly lurked on L-R and L-D, but I want to voice my support for
the general idea that we can make things better than they currently are. I appreciate Josh's and Luis' e-mails on the topic, and their suggestions for how to improve things.</div><div><br></div><div>As Josh said, the charge and responsibility of L-R is only growing in importance and impact. I increasingly see companies, universities, and governments defer to the OSI as what it means to be "open source", and the phrase "an OSI-approved license" is becoming more and more common in public & private contractual agreements. The decisions made, or not made, by this body have significant consequences, and I don't think the existing workflow, tools, documentation, communication, and decision making are commiserate with that responsibility.</div><div><br></div><div>Luis offered some great suggestions for possible improvements. I've never used Discourse, so can't comment on it directly, but the general goals of improving transparency, clarity, and inclusion are acutely important and exactly the sort of things we should be trying to improve moving forward, in my opinion.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Ben<br></div></div>
