The brief
The OSI participated in the UN Digital Cooperation Day, where they joined a panel on Open Source AI to emphasize the importance of shared language and common definitions in policy crafting. Additionally, they attended a conversation about openness and digital sovereignty with Creative Commons and the NYU Engelberg Center, where the key message was that open by itself does very little, but enables a lot.
The OSI also attended Stakeholder Day as part of Open Source Congress in Halifax, where leaders from over 40 foundations formed working groups on global collaboration, sustainability, security, regulatory policy, AI, and governance. Meanwhile, the OSI staff and board reviewed their work and planned for 2027 during their in-person meeting in Halifax.
At Open Source Summit Europe in Prague, the OSI connected with leaders and advocates, discussing topics such as sovereignty, security, Open Source AI, and sustainability. The OSI is planning new sponsor benefits for 2027 and encourages organizations to advocate for them with their finance leaders, offering email contact and office hours for discussion.
