The hosting details page still described the Facebook OCP racks, an Ocata OpenStack cluster, Munin, a secondary data center in Corvallis and an 11 TB mirror network. Most of that hardware and software is gone after the move to the State Data Center, so rewrite each section against what Chef, Prometheus and the cookbooks show is running today. - Replace the OCP CI/CD hardware with the Inspur NE5260M5 servers that run the shared GitLab runners and x86_64 OpenStack compute - Describe the three OpenStack clusters, their Ceph storage and NVMe nodes, and link the POWER and AArch64 development programs - Update Ganeti, FTP mirroring (including ftp2), mail relaying, Mailman, web hosting, databases, co-location, monitoring and backups - Add Community Services, Object Storage and DNS Hosting sections for services we already run but never listed - Link the hosting policy and request form from the intro so readers know how to apply - Update the ci-cd row on the projects page to match the new CI/CD offering Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Lance Albertson <lance@osuosl.org>
The hosting index still described "carrier-grade facilities" from before the move to the State Data Center, and both it and the policy page had a broken opensource.org link. The donate FAQ also listed data center space among the things the University provides. - Name the State Data Center on the hosting index in place of the vague "carrier-grade facilities" line - Fix the opensource.org links on the hosting index and policy page, which had the trailing period inside the URL - Point the policy page at the hosting details page and list object storage among the other services - Drop "data center space" from what the University provides, since colocation in the State Data Center is now a recurring cost Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Lance Albertson <lance@osuosl.org>
The hosting details page names these as managed projects, but none of them appeared on the hosted projects list. - Add the OpenPOWER Foundation with co-location for its hardware, and vm and webapp for its services stack - Add Nura, noting its former postmarketOS name, and U-Boot with vm for their managed GitLab hosts Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Lance Albertson <lance@osuosl.org>
A site-wide review found the home and About pages still quoting 160 hosted projects and 430 TB a month, well below the 311 projects in hosted.yml and the measured 1,500+ TB in stats.yml. The donate pages still showed FY2019 finances and a 2017-era hardware wishlist. - Update project and transfer figures on the home, About and staff bio text, and name current projects instead of Apache and the Linux Foundation - Replace the FY2019 charts and figures with the 2025 budget breakdown and add the new colocation cost - Tell donors to search for the OSU Open Source Lab Fund, which is how the Foundation form lists it now - Set the student count to five and mark DevOps Bootcamp as a past event - Refresh the donate page mirror, POWER and sub-project counts, add IBM Z and RISC-V International, and drop Travis CI and the postmarketOS name - Replace the hardware wishlist with current storage and mirror needs - Move the sponsors page to fiscal years 2025 and 2026 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Lance Albertson <lance@osuosl.org>
The OSL stopped taking part in Google Summer of Code after 2016, and CS312 is now taught by other EECS staff, but the student pages still presented both as current OSL programs. - Remove the GSoC page and its link from the Education page - Rewrite the CS312 overview to say EECS teaches it now and link the current catalog entry, replacing the dead catalog and Drupal-era tarball links - Mark DevOps Bootcamp as a past program on the Education page Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Lance Albertson <lance@osuosl.org>
The services overview still used the PowerLinux brand and had no IBM Z section, several IBM links now 404 or land on generic pages, and the POWER project list carried 33 GPU projects that CQLS hosted years ago. - Rewrite the services overview for POWER9/POWER10 OpenStack and POWER CI, and add an IBM Z CI section - Rewrite the POWER intro around current hardware and projects, dropping the 2016-era partner list and PowerLinux branding - Replace dead IBM links with ibm.com/power, LinuxONE and the Linux on Systems docs, and stop pointing IBM Z users at Linux on Power resources - Say POWER CI builds run in Docker and limit the request form to the Debian and Ubuntu images osl-jenkins actually provides - Describe the GPU systems as the OpenPOWER Foundation HUB and drop the old CQLS GPU project list, since new GPU work goes through the HUB - Mark GMP and Nettle current again, since both still run POWER instances - Link the OpenPOWER Foundation and its HUB through openpowerfoundation.org - Rename Marist College to Marist University, and drop the outdated CGRB credit from the POWER CI GPU question - Fix the Open-CE current release anchor, the 1.5.1 release year and the x86 RHEL label, plus broken Wikipedia, Ampere and eMAG links Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Lance Albertson <lance@osuosl.org>
FreeBSD and PostgreSQL are among the co-located projects named on the hosting details page and in the data center migration post, but hosted.yml only tagged them powerpc. OpenWrt carried ci-cd, which now means the shared runners, though it uses dedicated servers. - Tag FreeBSD and PostgreSQL as co-location - Tag OpenWrt as co-location instead of ci-cd - Change Gentoo-zh's mirror tag to mirroring, the tag the projects page defines - Fix the "email an email" typo on the form submitted page - Update the params comment that still called the form key a reCAPTCHA key Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Lance Albertson <lance@osuosl.org>

Bring the hosting details page and the rest of the site up to date after the move to Oregon's State Data Center. Much of what the site described is hardware, software and numbers that are years out of date.
The hosting details page still described the donated Facebook OpenCompute racks, an Ocata OpenStack cluster, Munin, an 11 TB mirror network and a secondary data center in Corvallis. A site-wide review then found stale numbers and dead links elsewhere. The home and About pages quoted 160 projects and 430 TB a month, the donate FAQ showed FY2019 finances, and several IBM and course links returned 404. Each claim was checked against chef-repo, knife, Prometheus or the live sites before it went in. Items that only Lance could confirm (policies, retention, co-location costs) were confirmed directly. Start with
content/services/hosting/details.md, which is rewritten top to bottom.osl-jenkinsactually providesci-cdfrom OpenWrt because that tag now means the shared runners onlyThe remaining
ci-cdandco-locationtags indata/projects/hosted.ymland the stale POWER tenant list are left for a separate review.References:
