Open Source Partner Organizations

Open Source Organizations which participated in the 2007 picnic are automatically considered Open Source Partner Organizations (OSPO) for 2008. In addition, any Open Source non-profit organization or association may become an OSPO for 2008 by committing to the following:

• It will encourage its members to participate in the Linux Picnic
• It will encourage readers of its mail lists, web sites and other means of communication that it operates to attend the picnic.

Note: sbay.org is listed as a participant below but is not eligible to name representatives to OSPO representatives on the Steering Committee. The Board of Directors already names up to three representatives as a separate category to the Steering Committee. The up to 6 representatives of the OSPO's is for the rest of the organizations involved.
