Episode notes

This chapter highlights the need for open source AI projects to be practical and usable, with active users and practical applications. It also discusses the challenges faced by organizations in making decisions about their next move, including the introduction of CIQ as a support partner for Rocket Linux.

This week we’re joined by Stefano Maffulli, the Executive Director of the Open Source Initiative (OSI). They are responsible for representing the idea and the definition of open source globally. Stefano shares the challenges they face as a US-based non-profit with a global impact. We discuss the work Stefano and the OSI are doing to define Open Source AI, and why we need an accepted and shared definition. Of course we also talk about the potential impact if a poorly defined Open Source AI emerges from all their efforts.

Note: Stefano was under the weather for this conversation, but powered through because of how important this topic is.
