Open Source Initiative Extends Voting Period After Email ‘Typo’ [Ed: Open Source Initiative has struggled for a couple of years already to properly run an election. Open Source Initiative is a defunct organisation, hijacked by its worst opponents, mostly Microsoft.]

=> ↺ Open Source Initiative Extends Voting Period After Email ‘Typo’

The Open Source Initiative announced today that it’s extending the voting period in the current election for two individual member seats on its board of directors. Voting began on March 10 and was originally slated to run through March 20. Voting will now run through March 21.

This is a satisfactory ending to a small kerfuffle that began last night when I reported on a mistake in an email I received from Open Source Initiative that I feared could have consequences on election results. The email, sent to OSI’s individual members in an effort to get out the vote, erroneously stated that voting would end on “Monday, March 21” instead of Monday, March 20. A small thing, to be sure, but an error that had the potential to cost OSI members their vote if they made a mental notation of “March 21” and then put off voting until the last minute.
