9 OSI Incubator Projects provide opportunities—and resources—to Individual Members of the OSI to self-organize around affinity interests. Each OSI Incubator Project is dedicated to addressing a specific need of, and for, the open source community in line with the OSI's mission of education and advocacy while building bridges among different constituencies. Incubator projects focus on the creation of resources for open source communities, development practices, licensing or any other non-code aspect of the open source ecosystem.

37 == OSI Working Groups ==
38
39 OSI's working groups enable members of the OSI community (Individual and Affiliate Members as well as Corporate Sponsors) to help identify, understand, and form policy around issues relevant to the OSI's mission, and help inform practices so that the organization can better serve the open source community. Working groups focus on the internal operations of the OSI.
