Open Source Lab
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Open Source Lab is a group at Oregon State University dedicated to supporting and developing Open Source software. A wide range of projects are hosted at the lab including Gentoo, Mozilla, Debian, and Freenode. Development projects include Maintain and the OLPC. The lab was founded by Scott Kveton and Jason McKerr in 2003 and is currently managed by Corey Shields and North Krimsly.
The OSL hosts an annual conference for people using and developing open source software in the public sector called GOSCON.
[edit] Hosting
A large variety of open source projects are hosted by the OSL. They provide a managed and unmanaged dedicated hosting environment for open source software development. The lab often hosts projects that have outgrown services such as SourceForge or GNU Savannah.
