They face two major challenges: finding a cost-effective new data center and hardware to replace their aging 20+ year old infrastructure, and securing multi-year funding commitments to cover operations and future upgrades. OSL is actively seeking data center space and hardware donations, and appealing to corporations and individuals for long-term support to ensure its continued service to the open-source community.

Open Source Lab (OSL) Faces Closure Unless $250k is Secured

2025-04-30

Oregon State University's Open Source Lab (OSL) is facing a critical funding shortage. Due to decreased corporate donations and university budget cuts, OSL needs to raise $250,000 by May 14th, 2025 to avoid closure. This funding will cover staff and student salaries, and operational expenses. OSL hosts over 500 free and open-source projects globally and has mentored over 130 students in its 22-year history. The lab also faces the challenge of its data center being decommissioned, with finding a new location proving difficult.
