Lance Albertson writes
that the Oregon State University Open Source Lab, the home of many
prominent free-software projects over the years, has run into financial trouble:
I am writing to inform you about a critical and time-sensitive
situation facing the Open Source Lab. Over the past several years,
we have been operating at a deficit due to a decline in corporate
donations. While OSU's College of Engineering (CoE) has generously
filled this gap, recent changes in university funding have led to a
significant reduction in CoE's budget. As a result, our current
funding model is no longer sustainable and CoE needs to find ways
to cut programs.
Earlier this week, I was informed that unless we secure $250,000 in
committed funds, the OSL will be forced to shut down later this
year.
