Open Source Initiative and REvolution Computing

Danese Cooper has an 18-year history in the software industry and has long been an advocate for transparent development methodologies. Cooper worked for six years at Sun Microsystems, Inc. on the inception and growth of the various open source projects sponsored by Sun (including OpenOffice.org, java.net and blogs.sun.com). She was Sun’s chief open source evangelist and founded Sun’s Open Source Programs Office. She has unique experience implementing open source projects from within a large proprietary company. She joined the OSI Board in December 2001 and currently serves as Secretary & Treasurer. After four years advising Intel on Open Source Strategies, in February 2009, Cooper joined REvolution Computing to advise on open source projects, investment and support. She speaks internationally on open source and licensing issues.
