Open Source Initiative (OSI)
- is a California public benefit corporation with global scope, formed in 1998 to educate about and advocate for the benefits of open source and to build bridges among different constituencies in the open source community. Open source enables a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is higher quality, better reliability, greater flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in. One of OSI's most important activities is serving as a standards body, maintaining the Open Source Definition for the good of the community. Its OSI Approved License trademark and program create a nexus of trust around which developers, users, corporations, and governments can organize open source cooperation.

No date was given in the reports but they show that Dr. Shimoon was seized at Urumiah, Persia, by Turks who tried to compel him to embrace Islamism. Upon his refusal and statement that "Jesus is my Savior," he was seized, set on fire, burned to death and beheaded.
