Open Source Intelligence
In June 2005, Marks founded The Open Source Intelligence Forum. http://www.osif.us/ As its current director, the group of former Federal government and private sector executives engages in a series of forums advocating more effective exploitation of open source intelligence (OSINT) by the U.S. Intelligence and National Security Communities. In 2007-08, Marks was selected by the Director of National Intelligence's Open Source office to plan and participate in the first DNI Open Source Conference.

Famous quotes containing the words open, source and/or intelligence:
“Technological change defines the horizon of our material world as it shapes the limiting conditions of what is possible and what is barely imaginable. It erodes ... assumptions about the nature of our reality, the “pattern” in which we dwell, and lays open new choices.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“The source of our actions resides in an unconscious propensity to regard ourselves as the center, the cause, and the conclusion of time. Our reflexes and our pride transform into a planet the parcel of flesh and consciousness we are.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
“It is worth the while to detect new faculties in man,—he is so much the more divine; and anything that fairly excites our admiration expands us. The Indian, who can find his way so wonderfully in the woods, possesses an intelligence which the white man does not,—and it increases my own capacity, as well as faith, to observe it. I rejoice to find that intelligence flows in other channels than I knew. It redeems for me portions of what seemed brutish before.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
