Press Guide to OSAF (the organization)

For information on OSAF itself I'd suggest you take a look at the pages on:
Corporate History
Corporate FAQ
Also, some of the early entries in Mitch Kapor's weblog like the October 17, 2002 entry are about how OSAF came to be.

Even if your publication is not specifically directed to programmers, you might want to read through the introductory material on the For Developers page as well.
