At the end of day one of Ubuntu Live I caught up with Lance Albertson from the Open Source Lab (OSL).  The OSL, which is located  at Oregon State University, hosts and incubates free and open source projects as well as does development work all with the goal of promoting open source software and its communities. 

I met up with Lance at the Red Robin a block away from the convention center and plied him with beer and nachos until he told me the deepest darkest secrets of the OSL. 

Lance Albertson, OSL    Listen to the Interview (5:18)

Topics include:  What does the Open Source Lab do, which FOSS all stars does OSL host (hint kernel.org, Apache, Mozilla...); How Lance got into the OSL via Gentoo; How they're funded;  And How has Lance adjusted to the move from Kansas to Portland.

Pau for now...

Hi Bala,

The OSL are generally after projects that have
outgrown other hosting like sourceforge. So if its a small personal hosting you may want to try out Sourceforge first.

If you want to check out OSL look at http://osuosl.org/hosting

thx
