What is the purpose of this platform?

To provide a “safe pair of hands” for hosting the Open Source Definition (OSD) and related artefacts to prevent it being modified or forked without the community’s explicit consent, as well as an inclusive, uncensored venue where the community can reconvene.

While offered indefinitely, this is intended to be a temporary arrangement while the community determines its own future via some to-be-determined process (e.g., rough consensus).
