Those of us who have spent our lives playing with computers naturally see
the appeal of deploying them though the home for both data acquisition and
automation. But many of us who have watched the evolution of the
technology industry are increasingly unwilling to entrust critical
household functions to cloud-based servers run by companies that may not
have our best interests at heart. The Apache-licensed Home Assistant project offers a
welcome alternative: locally controlled automation with free software.
This two-part series covers roughly a year of Home Assistant use, starting
with a set of overall observations about the project.

Lance Albertson writes that the
Oregon State University Open Source Lab has been funded for the next
year, following his announcement in April
that the future of OSL was in jeopardy. OSL is now focusing on
becoming self-sustainable long term.

The recent support was amazing for our immediate team needs. But
for the OSL to thrive long-term, we need a sustainable financial
foundation. This is crucial, as the university expects units like ours
to become self-sufficient beyond this current year.

So, our big focus this next year is locking in ongoing support –
think annualized pledges, different kinds of regular income, and other
recurring help. This is vital, especially with potential new data
center costs and hardware needs. Getting this right means we can stop
worrying about short-term funding and plan for the future: investing
in our tech and people, growing our awesome student programs, and
serving the FOSS community. We’re looking for partners, big and small,
who get why foundational open source infrastructure matters and want
to help us build this sustainable future together.
