       🚨 :OSI: The work of @osuosl is at risk as US academic funding faces historic challenges. The Lab hosts infra for over 1000 #FOSS projects, and uses the opportunity to train students in critical #DevOps skills. Nothing comes close to the value that OSL provides the global #OpenSource community.If you or your employer can help support this critical work, check their website for donation and contact info.:boost_love: #boostsAppreciated https://osuosl.org/donate#FreeSoftware #FLOSS #OSUOSL

       Thanks @downey, for noting the dire need of/for @osuosl.  #SoftwareFreedom @conservancy (where I work) helps #FOSS projects w/ nonprofit infrastructure.  We don't need to offer server hosting *b/c* OSU OSL exists. SFC projects like @inkscape & others rely *every day* on @ramereth & his team.What's more, Lance is training the next generation of FOSS system infrastructure engineers — slowly becoming a lost art to proprietariness since the knowledge is increasingly locked in big hosting companies.
