The Oregon State University Open Source Lab (OSUOSL) has been one of the most generous organizations to the Drupal project. In mid-2005 they stepped up and offered to host drupal.org at a time when the website was crashing due to insufficient hardware. OSUOSL generously offered rackspace and bandwidth, all of it donated. Since this donation the drupal.org infrastructure has grown from a single server to more than a dozen, traffic has increased exponentially, and overall growth has exploded. OSUOSL handled all of this in stride and even provided the time of student interns to assist with hosting and infrastructure issues.

After over two years of working on their infrastructure the Association is happy to announce that the Drupal community (via the Association) has in turn supported the OSUOSL with $15,000(usd) to help with continuing operations. This money will be used to not only help Drupal.org's growing infrastructure but also support other Open source projects.

We are excited and proud to support such a great institution.
