Open Source Lab

Open Source Lab

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 Ganeti Web Manager, Pydra, and Touchscreen. The lab was founded by Scott Kveton and Jason McKerr in 2003 and is currently managed by Lance Albertson, Peter Krenesky, and Jeff Sheltren.

The OSL hosts an annual conference for people using and developing open source software in the public sector called GOSCON.

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.

Projects at least partially hosted by the OSL.[1]

Alongside the wide range of hosted projects, the OSL provides an HTTP and FTP mirror infrastructure mirroring a number of other open source projects. As of July 2010, there are file mirrors in Corvallis, New York City, and Chicago.[5]

Public PowerPC development resources are also made available to developers working on projects that target the PowerPC, PowerPC64, and IBM Cell processors.[6]

Development

The Open Source Lab also provides contributions to the open-source community through in-house development services. Many of the developers are students at Oregon State University.

  • Ganeti Web Manager - Web based virtual machine management for Ganeti. [7]
