The Open Source Lab at Oregon State University provides infrastructure, mirrors, virtual machines, and other hosting services to open source projects that need a neutral and mission-driven provider. It is one of the clearest examples of operational support as sustainability: reducing infrastructure burden for OSS communities rather than paying maintainers directly.
