| 1 | I strongly believe in the stewardship of "open source" and "open standards", and I would like to continue my community contribution as a board member of OSI. | ||

| 3 | 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). I believe that my community open source and open standards experiences make me a good candidate to be a board member of OSI. | ||
