OSI has joined the FSF in providing our united views to the Supreme Court of the USA in the Alice vs CLS Bank case. We believe this case is crucial to open source as it could determine whether software patents should be valid.

Something different, and very cool; An essay contest on the innovative use of Open Source Information and Communications Technologies is being jointed sponsored by the US State Department's Bureau of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance in partnership, the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) and the Center for Policy Studies (PIR) in Russia. Fascinating crowd-sourcing of ideas - if not policies - to lead public discussion, verify, monitor compliance, for nuclear arms and sensitive facilities. Contest closed January 31, 2013.
