The Oregon State University '''Open Source Lab''' is a nonprofit organization working for the advancement of [[open-source]] technologies. The lab provides hosting for more than 160 projects, including the [[Apache Software Foundation]], the [[Linux Foundation]] and [[Drupal]]. The OSL's hosted sites deliver nearly 430 terabytes of information every month.<ref>[http://osuosl.org/ OSU Open Source Lab – Home]</ref> The OSL offers hosting services, professional software development, and hands-on training for students interested in open-source management and programming. The lab was founded by [[Scott Kveton]] and [[Jason McKerr]] in 2003 and is currently managed by [[Lance Albertson]]. Sponsors and supporters of the lab include [[Google Inc.]], the Collaborative Software Initiative, [[Facebook Inc.]], The Linux Foundation, [[IBM]], the [[Drupal Association]], [[Aruba Networks]] and Host Virtual.

== Hosting ==
A large variety of [[free and open-source software]] projects are hosted by the OSL. They provide a managed and unmanaged hosting environment for open-source software development. The lab often hosts projects that have outgrown services such as [[SourceForge]] or [[GNU Savannah]]. Like [[Google]], the Open Source Lab employs the [[Ganeti]] [[solution stack]].

Projects at least partially hosted by the OSL.<ref>[https://osuosl.org/communities OSU Open Source Lab – Hosted and mirrored open-source communities]</ref>
