Want to hear something interesting? If you’re a messaging app trying to market yourself as the “gold standard of private communications," the last thing you want is to be in the news every day because some Fox News host is too dumb to understand how privacy works. That’s just a little free info from me, Signal, the messaging app you’ve probably been reading about lately thanks to a bunch of high-level government pinheads who think that the MMR vaccine is composed of fetus debris and gay powder.
When I talk about the environment I usually say “Climate change & Environmental Degradation.” It’s important to understand that while these two reinforce each other, they aren’t the same thing.

Open source projects thrive because of the people and institutions that nurture them behind the scenes—empowering innovation, collaboration, and digital freedom. One impactful institution is the Oregon State University Open Source Lab (OSL). The Drupal community owes much of our success and growth to the Open Source Lab when they supported the project in 2005 by hosting our servers.
Today, OSL needs our support.
The Oregon State University Open Source Lab is a nonprofit organization with a powerful legacy in the open source ecosystem. For years, it has provided secure, reliable hosting services to some of the most widely used and mission-critical open source projects like Apache, CentOS, Debian, Django, Docker, Eclipse, Mozilla Firefox, GNOME, Go, KDE, Node.JS, OpenBSD, OpenSSL, postgreSQL, Rust, sqlite, The Tor Project, Yum, and yes, Drupal.
