Latest OSUOSL News

Oregon State University Open Source Lab has begun a new Drupal training program aimed at OSU faculty and staff. Drupal has already been deployed by Central Web Services for many departments on campus, and we hope that by providing Author and Administrator training we will help other departments on campus adopt Drupal as the content management system for their web sites.
More information about the OSUOSL Drupal Training can be found on our Drupal Training Page.
The training sessions are available to OSU faculty and staff, but anyone can download and use the training materials. Currently, only the Author Training is complete, but check back soon for more information on the Administrator Training.
OSU Faculty and Staff can sign up now for the training.
The Open Source Lab is now hosting an OLPC Community Support Site.
The support site provides a portal to various OLPC resources such as forum, chat, and email lists. If you own an XO laptop, are thinking of purchasing one, or just want to check things out, be sure to head over to the site: http://forum.laptop.org
We're pleased to announce DemocracyLab is now hosted at the OSL.
A self-described interactive online think tank, DemocracyLab is a nonprofit and non-partisan organization founded with the goal of creating a virtual community dedicated to improving the democratic process and producing collaborative solutions to public policy problems. The project underway is creating a system that takes participants’ posts and votes to build a dynamic map of political thought designed to facilitate consensus building and collaborative problem solving. The intended result is a web-based "public forum where the best thinking rises to the top, creating a community-driven alternative to traditional politics".
