The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a global non-profit corporation, founded by Eric Raymond and Bruce Perens in late February 1998, with global scope formed to educate about and advocate for the benefits of open source and to build bridges among different constituencies in the open source community.
Among other things, they maintain the Open Source Definition, and a list of licenses that comply with that definition.
OSI wanted to migrate to XWiki and contacted the XWiki Open Source Project to get a hosting on myxwiki.org.
XWiki SAS then decided to offer instead a professional hosting for free in recognition of their important action for Open Source!
