25	25
26		-The standards and patents fight is the biggest issue OSI faces this year. I have a long experience with standards organizations and the companies that are working against us this time. The OSI board needs my leadership in this effort. Surprisingly, there is little participation by OSI board directors in the license committee, although it is a critical function of OSI, perhaps its most critical. I will help to correct that. I an an acknowledged leader and spokesperson in the Open Source world, and have been for more than 20 years. And I am on the forefront of bringing Open Source into new fields, including space, automotive, software-defined radio, hardware and gate-array designs, and represent those developers as Open Source transitions out of its mostly-ICT history.
