The OSU open source lab is one of those lynchpins for many Projects in FOSS.

Even small projects like @librecast depend on those servers. To be clear we don't host our project infrastructure with them.

But when we do a Librecast release it gets tested on Debian infrastructure to package it for #Debian and #Guix. Which OSUOSL is a part of.

So if you can spare some cash for this lab, please do so.

Our ecosystem depends on this.

We usually don't ask this, but please boost for reach, this is important infrastructure for so many FLOSS projects!

Libera.Chat would not be what we are today, if not for OSL's sponsorship of the network before us.

OSL has been an integral part of open source and open culture project support for a very long time. They support projects we use, learn from, and contribute to. Many of these projects call Libera.Chat home.

Nonprofits, businesses, governments, and you all depend on projects OSL sponsors. If not directly, then somewhere upstream.

OSL is worth saving.
