The Open Source Lab is on the move!

Moving a data center is about more than just hauling servers—it’s an opportunity to modernize. We’re raising funds to cover the critical extra expenses incurred during this transition, including new high-speed networking equipment, remote management tools, and hardware upgrades.

Support our student-led team as they build a faster, more resilient network for the open source community.

Data Center Migration Update and Fundraising Campaign

In December, I announced that the OSL would be relocating from our longtime home in Kerr B210 to Oregon’s State Data Center in Salem. I’m excited to share that we’ve made tremendous progress on this historic migration, and I’m pleased to announce a critical fundraising campaign to support this endeavor.

Forging Our Future: OSL

Following our OSL Future post, the community response has been incredible! Thanks to your amazing support, our team is funded for the next year. This is a huge relief and lets us focus on building a truly self-sustaining OSL. To get there, we’re tackling two big interconnected goals: Finding a new, cost-effective physical home for our core infrastructure, ideally with more modern hardware. Securing multi-year funding commitments to cover all our operations, including potential new infrastructure

We need your help, the future of the OSU Open Source Lab is in jeopardy

Future of OSL in Jeopardy

I am writing to inform you about a critical and time-sensitive situation facing the Open Source Lab (OSL). Over the past several years, we have been operating at a deficit due to a decline in corporate donations. While the Oregon State College of Engineering (CoE) has generously filled this gap, recent changes in university funding makes our current funding model no longer sustainable. As a result, our current funding model is no longer sustainable.

OSL Infrastructure Migration: A Move to Oregon's State Data Center

Earlier this year, I shared our “OSL Future” update, outlining the roadmap to build a more sustainable and resilient OSU Open Source Lab. A key part of that plan was finding a professional-grade physical home for our core infrastructure to replace the facility we’ve called home for the last two decades. Today, I am thrilled to announce a major milestone: The OSL is officially moving to Oregon’s State Data Center (SDC) in Salem, Oregon.
