10	10	When I'm not working for Conservancy, I dabble in songwriting and music production, and participate in the masochistic ritual of rooting for Washington, DC-area sports teams. I'm also a lapsed cartoonist (although it's been a while since I've done more than doodle, admittedly). I live with my amazing wife, Beth in Harlem, New York, NY.

18		-I also see potential for OSI to do more. For starters, I'd like to help OSI recruit more foundations and public charities outside of the open source/technology space for affiliate membership.

The FLOSS foundation community is close-knit, but increasingly, organizations outside of our community are developing and/or using FLOSS to advance their charitable missions. I'd like to help OSI serve as a connector between NPOs pursuing a range of charitable missions who may not otherwise interact, and provide a platform for sharing best practices about the use and development of FLOSS.
