## Summary
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has launched a new website that restructures how it presents its expanding mission. The redesign elevates Policy & Standards to primary navigation and gives more visibility to Research & Education initiatives, including the Open Technology Research Network. The site also creates dedicated pathways for distinct audiences such as maintainers, legal professionals, founders, and policymakers.

## What changed in OSI's web presence
- Five strategic categories now organize content: Licensing, Open Source AI, Policy & Standards, Research & Education, and Community
- Policy & Standards promoted to primary navigation, reflecting increased regulatory engagement across regions
- Research & Education section expanded to feature OTR Network and a new Open Source Licensing Education hub
- Community section segmented by audience type: maintainers/developers, legal professionals, founders/executives, nonprofits/academia, and policymakers/government

## Why it matters
The restructuring signals OSI's continued shift from a licensing-focused body toward broader policy influence, particularly as open source intersects with AI regulation and government procurement standards.
