Bank of America, Google, and Red Hat Executives Join OASIS Board of Directors

OASIS, the international standards and open source consortium, this week announced that three new members were elected to its Board of Directors: Jeremy Allison of Google, Rich Bowen of Red Hat, and Wende Peters of Bank of America. From a report: Their depth of experience in the open source and open standards communities bolsters the Board's reach and establishes OASIS as the home for worldwide standards in cybersecurity, blockchain, privacy, cryptography, cloud computing, IoT, urban mobility, emergency management, and other content technologies. These three new members join the continuing members of the Board: Martin Chapman of Oracle; Bruce Rich of Cryptsoft; Jason Keirstead of IBM; Beth Pumo of Kaiser Permanente; and Daniel Reidel of New Context. Reelected Board members Frederick Hirsch, Individual member; Gershon Janssen, Individual member; and Richard Struse of Mitre will each serve a two-year term starting in July 2020. "At OASIS, we are dedicated to the mission of building an inclusive open development ecosystem where open standards and open source complement each other," said Guy Martin, OASIS Executive Director. "I'm excited to welcome Jeremy, Rich and Wende to our Board, and am confident that their combined experience will help us continue to fulfill that mission." Jeremy Allison works for Google's Open Source Programs Office, where he is co-creator and one of the lead developers of the Samba Team, producing an Open Source Windows compatible file and print server product for UNIX systems. He has broad experience in government and nonprofits to complement his extensive technical background. In addition to his new duties on the OASIS Board, he also serves on the Board of Directors for the Software Freedom Conservancy and is a member of the Advisory Board of the Document Foundation.
