Every petition signature helps, even if you're disliked by #OpenSource Initiative.
It's now 49 sigs:
https://codeberg.org/OSI-Concerns/election-results-2025
Paraphrasing (& mixing metaphors of ) Arlo Guthrie's *Alice's Restaurant*:
If 1 person signs, #OSI figures I'm a malcontent & won't seat me on the Board. If 2 people sign, they'll just seat neither of us.
But if FIFTY PEOPLE walk up to OSI, sing a bar of Alice's Restaurant, sign the petition, & walk out, they'll think it's a Movement.
Only 1 more sig 'til *A Movement*
