15		-I would like to collaborate with the OSI community to formulate a set of criteria through which the OSI could usefully build upon its role as the primary touchstone "brand of trust" for designating genuine "Open Source" production and distribution, in a world where "open" branding has become ubiquitous (good) and ambiguous (not good). Yes it's been wonderful to see the concept proliferate, but what's there to do about "[[openwashing>>url:http://opensource.com/business/14/12/openwashing-more-prevalent]]"? I suggest there's no entity better placed than OSI to establish a certification program for "open source" claims beyond the software realm. The OSI could strategically and pro-actively build upon the derivative logo arrangement that was worked out (after-the-fact and a little haphazardly) with [[OSHWA>>url:http://www.oshwa.org/2012/10/17/co-existence/]] to proactively come up with a series of OSI logos derived from the primary logo, for OSI-certified "openness" in domains other than software.

This remains to explore and disscuss, and I understand that it's a non-trivial proposal. With your vote, I commit to working with others to formulate the concept with various options, and to help facilitate thoughtful consideration. I also commit, of course, to accepting a considered decision by the members and Board to not pursue such a direction.

19		-I'd like to advance [[the FLOW Syllabus>>url:http://wiki.opensource.org/bin/Projects/flow-syllabus]] in several ways to support continuing education. This is a curated collection of online external learning resources that offer clear and useful freely-available web-based information from diverse sources to explain or illustrate the free/libre/open way (ethics, methods, processes, governance, HR management, strategy, security, law or financing). This syllabus does not shy away from delving deeply into primary concepts. It is [[designed for both business and technical people>>url:http://wiki.opensource.org/bin/download/Projects/flow%2Dsyllabus/flow%2Dsyllabus_intro_15jul2014PDF.pdf]].

I suggesting to my client that this was a common need, and that we ought to make this a re-usable collection of learning materials that could be shared with anyone. I could then deliver to them a particular instance of the course on-site. They enthusiastically agreed. After delivery, my client and I jointly approached the OSI to ask if they'd like to host further development of the syllabus as a shared resource for advanced learning about the free/libre/open way. This initiative now involves collaboration with the [[Open Educational Resource university (OERu)>>url:http://oeru.org/]] and others.
