Featured Donors: Why do we give to OSUOSL?

Angela Byron ("webchick") - Drupal 7 Co-Maintainer

"The OSU Open Source Lab has been instrumental in the growth and stability of drupal.org, the official website and development collaboration hub for the Drupal content management platform. When we outgrew our old hosting back in 2005, OSL graciously stepped in to provide us with top-notch hosting facilities and skilled systems administrators, always willing to share their knowledge and expertise. OSL has kept our home stable and running smoothly to this very day, despite our community exploding to almost triple its size since when we began our relationship, and increased system requirements from our development activity. I'm extremely proud to donate to the OSL to support the amazing work they do, not just in hosting and supporting the infrastructure for Drupal, but for many other key open source projects and communities. Rock on!"

John "Warthog9" Hawley - Chief Kernel.org Administrator

"I donate to OSUOSL because they provide one of the most important services the Open Source community can have: hosting. It's great that our code is Free (as in speech), but hosting is Free (as in beer). I give to make sure that our future is secure and that they don't turn my boxes off by mistake." [Ed. note: We would never do that!]
