Thanks for chiming in. Is maybe the lack of mature constructive criticism that could be at the root that may be more productive than whatever Will's honest criticism has been? Sometimes the delivery method matters? I am probing. I have no idea what the ins and outs of the true dynamics behind the scenes are. Happy to get a glimpse though and generally have felt the "exclusivity" stinge. But also seems that OS funding other foundations type orgs could be helping to solve that centralized clique issue? Which is what I have paid attention to as that's been in consideration for how I might contribute in exchange of grants if I were to stay in this space.

There just needs to be more transparency in OS applications, some sort of appeal process, better comms with applicants, no conflicting interests for board members. It being a blackbox is ripe for corruption, or speculation of corruption. Believe it or not i would like OS to endure, but reform is needed, evident by people getting concerned. Its something of an outpouring because when receiving a grant its hard to criticize, especially if your project really needs the resources.
