The Open Source Lab is a nonprofit organization working for the advancement of open source technologies.

The lab, in partnership with the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University, provides hosting for more than 160 projects, including those of worldwide leaders like the Apache Software Foundation, the Linux Foundation and Drupal. Together, the OSL’s hosted sites deliver nearly 430 terabytes of information to people around the world every month. The most active organization of its kind, the OSL offers world-class hosting services, professional software development and on-the-ground training for promising students interested in open source management and programming.

By enabling innovative projects and distributing software to millions of users globally, the lab is working to accelerate the growth of high-impact open source software projects and promote an open source culture of accessibility and increased productivity around the world. The lab partners with industry leaders and policy makers to bring open source technologies to new sectors, including education, health and government.

Under the school of EECS, the OSL and the Oregon State Business Solutions Group have joined together to create the Center for Applied Systems and Software (CASS). CASS provides clients with services for every stage of a project: designing, developing, testing and hosting. This partnership allows each group to maintain its unique brand while combining their expertise and giving them the ability and resources to take on bigger and better projects.
