Calling ppl who contribute to, benefit from or impacted by open source software: OES develops tools + standards to help open source communities ensure fair, ethical & equitable outcomes - amazing advances today + proud to have been an early funder at @OmidyarNetwork
There's already a lot going on with the OES in 2023! First of all, we're happy to share that we have been granted our official 501(c)(3) non-profit status in the US!

We're are particularly interested in collaborating with people experienced in crafting Terms of Service or other policies for large platforms. We also would love to work with the people building these platforms, who recognize the need for a ToS like the one we envision.

The Ethical ToS will reflect best practices based on the real-world experience of experts in community management, and its adoption will signal a platform’s commitment to the safety of vulnerable users.
