The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has become the new home for the former Opensource.com news site. Writers and editors formerly contributing to Opensource.com will continue their work under the umbrella of the OSI, posting content at a domain owned by the OSI: OpenSource.net.

OpenSource.net launched in response to the halt of Opensource.com operations by supervising entity Red Hat, which supports the move. This includes facilitating the republishing of selected, previously published material from Opensource.com for the archives of OpenSource.net with the project’s community manager Seth Kenlon continuing to play an advisory and supporting role.

Now, the OSI, a 501c(3) organization and the custodian of the Open Source Definition, will oversee OpenSource.net. It will serve as a not-for-profit platform for sharing knowledge, perspectives and advocacy to support a healthy open ecosystem.
