We've just rolled out the beginning of exciting things to come in Lighthouse: Open Source Project support. To create an OSS Project, just select "Open Source Project" from the Project Type area and choose a license when creating or editing a project.
This is just the tip of the iceberg on our support for OSS projects. Our next goal in this area is to roll out an area where anyone can browse and search OSS projects across Lighthouse. Enjoy!
ENTP is a consultancy and web incubator based in Portland, Oregon. We make Lighthouse and Tender Support. If you’ve got a project in mind, please get in touch. We’d love to help you out.

I’m super stoked about this! Congrats!
One question – I have a private project (alonetone) that I would like to edit and change to open source, but it seems that it doesn’t “take” when I save the settings.
Hey Sudara,
Thanks for the heads up. We’re aware of this. It only happens when editing existing projects, we’re getting in a fix asap.
You guys rock. Lighthouse and Github sittin’ in a tree…
Will Open Source Projects on Lighthouse be free?
Great job, editing and saving worked smoothly this morning.
I second Felix’s question. It’s a tad unclear what the difference between a public project and an open source project is, especially when it comes to those free accounts everyone is clamoring after.
i think it is be very important for lighthouse that opensource projects are free. (on github oss projects are already free).
there are a lot of oss projects who are considering switching to git. lighthouse could be their choice, because its a fantastic platform, but only if they dont have to pay for it.
Might have thought that the title “FREE Open Source Projects Now In Lighthouse!” would’ve answered the questions on cost. ;)
Awesome.
The free OSS projects are indeed free. We’re still working out some details, but right now OSS projects don’t count towards your plan projects. Your plan allows x private plans, and y public plans, but unlimited OSS plans. However, members are still counted. I’ll get that fixed really soon.
And yes, we are both big github fanboys. They’re neighbors on the same slice, attend the same BBQs, etc. Expect to see them working more closely together in the near future.
Cool! You should accept more licenses though, at least the best-practice licenses according to the OSI and preferably all OSI-accepted licenses.
I use the AFL for my projects, which is an OSI best-practice license similar to MIT and BSD.
Thanks!
