277:, and if we are to follow the guidance there, the requirement for keeping this article is "Faculties, departments or degree programs within a university, college, or school are generally not considered notable unless they have made significant contributions to their field." So, has this lab made a significant contribution to its field? The article I linked would suggest that it quite possibly has. "For a time, its servers hosted the kernel for most influential open source project, the Linux operating system, and the lab continues to host about 75 others. The lab’s sponsors include IBM, Facebook and Google, which contributed $ 300,000 to the lab last year."

and all appearances are that this article is subject to the
Oregonian's editorial control. The subheader for the Silicon Forest blog is "News on Oregon tech companies from The Oregonian's Mike Rogoway." I highly doubt that they would brand something not subject to their editorial control as news. I will also note that the Silicon Forest section is accessible from the Oregonian's front page in the menu under News by topic -: -->
271:"Oregon State University is giving its Open Source Lab a major promotion, moving it from a services role within the university into an academic department as part of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The switch will raise the Corvallis lab’s profile and involve dozens more students every year in a program that helped make Oregon a global hub for open source activity."
