1	1	I have over thirty years of Unix/Linux operating system expertise where I have been an author, inventor, open source contributor and leader, and a Texas licensed Professional Engineer in the field of Software Engineering. I've worked at Purdue University, Texas Instruments, IBM, and now at Dell Technologies as a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff. I made my first open source contribution thirty years ago to [[X11R4>>url:http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:SphnN47KvqEJ:www.cactus.org/~~gk4/kraft/george/papers/xterms.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us]]. I'm the original author of [[groupmems >>url:https://linux.die.net/man/8/groupmems]]in the shadow password package. I was the chairman of the [[Linux Standard Base>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base]] (LSB) that made [["Linux" an ISO standard>>url:https://www.iso.org/standard/43781.html]] so that DISA and other [[government agencies could use it>>url:https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/linux-national-security-george-kraft-iv-p-e-/]]. I was a co-founder of the Free Standards Group which is now the Linux Foundation. I was a member of [[accessibility.linuxfoundation.org>>url:https://accessibility.linuxfoundation.org/]], [[www.gnome.org>>url:https://www.gnome.org/]], and a staff member of the CAD Framework Initiative (CFI.org) standards body which is now [[Silicon Integration Initiative>>url:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Integration_Initiative]] (Si2.org).

	1	+Hi, George- I’m asking variations of these to all candidates, trying to edit out the questions that are obviously already answered by your position statement. Apologies if I missed something and asked something already answered! Apologies also for the length, but given the importance of the moment in open source generally and for OSI specifically, I think it is appropriate to go into some depth.
	2	+
	3	+1. If OSI could do only one thing, what would it be? (Obviously it can do more, but not much more, so I’d love to understand your #1 priority for the org.)
	4	+1. Should OSI move towards a board that advises more and does (on a day-to-day basis) less? If so, what will you do to help bring about that change? If not, why not?
	5	+1. If OSI has to choose between being an agent of change and a stabilizing force, which should it prefer?
	6	+1. What should OSI do about the tens of millions of people who regularly collaborate to build software online (often calling that activity, colloquially, open source) but have literally no idea what OSI is or what it does?
	7	+1. You have 24 hours in the day, and are talented enough to do many different things. Why do you want to give some of those hours to OSI?
	8	+1. If an Ethical Software Initiative sprung up tomorrow, what should OSI’s relationship to it be? (If you’re uncomfortable answering this about ethical software, consider instead answering with regards to the FSF or LF, or another hypothetical institution that to some extent competes with OSI for resources and influence.)

	10	+Thanks in advance for answering, and thanks for putting forth a thoughtful case for your candidacy.
