The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is proud to join GitHub and a global community of contributors in honoring the individuals who steward and sustain Open Source projects.
About 50 maintainers came together for Maintainer Month in May to share their stories behind the scenes. These maintainers not only review issues and merge pull requests—they also navigate community dynamics, mentor new contributors, and increasingly adopt security best practices to protect their code and users.
Let's amplify their voices. Together, we can ensure maintainers receive the recognition, support, and resources they need—not only in May, but all year long.
Jaws all on the floor. Code and data behind closed doors
Trying to claim you’re open, or worse, open core
Pushing proprietary, acting like you're hardcore
It's the same old game, different name, it's such a bore
But we need the real deal, not just some faux encore
-
So, will the real Open AI please stand up?
Please stand up, please stand up
'Cause we're tired of the fakes, we've had enough
Just wanna see real Open Source AI, no bluff
-
Now, who's pretending they're Open AI just for clout?
Saying they're transparent, but their code's all locked out
Hiding behind fancy branding, but there's no real route
To freedom and collaboration, it's all about cashing out
We need code and data out in the open, no doubt
Not some closed mom’s spaghetti prone to segment fault
-
So, will the real Open AI please stand up?
Please stand up, please stand up
'Cause we're tired of the fakes, we've had enough
Just wanna see real Open Source AI, no bluff
-
If you're claiming to be Open AI, don't lie
Release your code, let the community fly
We're here for innovation, not to be denied
Step aside if you're just faux Open AI
-
So, will the real Open AI please stand up?
Please stand up, please stand up
'Cause we're tired of the fakes, we've had enough
Just wanna see real Open Source AI, no bluff

To all Open AIs claiming to be real, hoarding GPUs
Prove it with code and data, show us what you can do
Until then, our LLMs’ next cipher just shine through
And with each beat, each layer, we keep building what's true.

Note: the Open Source Initiative is driving a multi-stakeholder process to define an “Open Source AI” and we would like to invite everyone to be part of the conversation: https://opensource.org/deepdive
Edward Snowden's mission is to educate the public about the privacy violations commited by the government with their mass surveillance programs. To continue Snowden's mission, we'll create sn0wd3n - an adventure game that will be made available for free and accessible through the Web and mobile.
...and a relentless powerful 365/24/7 `Diaboli Machinae' to avoid. This is interesting, perhaps a text based adventure game is most expedient, release 1.0? A GUI, with Google maps, etc, 3D dynamic hunter-killer thugs and drones, would be awesome but overwhelming.
I've read Edward is a very good gamer, so he has all of sn0wd3n already playing, and winning.
