Not to be confused with the University of Oregon, OSU set up its Open Source Lab in 2003. Since then, it’s done a great deal to help multiple FOSS projects. As Linux.com reported in 2006, it gave critical help to Gentoo and Drupal, along with providing one of the first hosting sites for the fledgling Mozilla Foundation.

As the Drupal team reported, the OSU OSL was serving 10 TB of data per month for them – in 2012. Seven years later, LWN reported on a talk by Albertson at SCALE 17x, saying that “role of the lab is to be a neutral hosting facility and to foster relationships between FOSS projects and companies.”
