The brief
The new website organizes OSI’s work around its major strategic areas: Licensing, Open Source AI, Policy & Standards, Research & Education, and Community. This new architecture provides a more scalable foundation for OSI’s growing work, which has expanded beyond the Open Source Definition and licensing to encompass policy and standards, research and education, and Open Source AI.
One of the most significant changes is elevating Policy & Standards to a primary navigation category, making policy positions, regulatory engagement, and work across regions and topics easier to find. The website is also expanding the visibility of Research & Education initiatives, including work with the Open Technology Research (OTR) Network and the development of the Open Source Licensing Education hub.
Under Community, dedicated pathways are being created for different audiences, including maintainers and developers, lawyers and legal professionals, founders and executives, nonprofits and academia, and policymakers and government. By making OSI's work more visible and accessible, the organization aims to strengthen connections across the global open source ecosystem and help more people understand how they can contribute.
