Is OSAF a "501(c)(3) non-profit"?  If so, this recent snippet from  
the DreamHost newsletter may be of interest:


> 4.  FREE Hosting For Non-Profits, Forever!
>
> Speaking of charitable for the holidays, we've just changed our non-
> profit discount policy.
>
>      http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Non-profit_Discount
>
> (Niiiice segue, Jones! Thanks, Josh! No problem, you rock. No, you  
> do.)
>
> We used to give you half off any hosting plan as a non-profit,  
> forever.
>
> Well, we decided to change all that. If you're a US-based 501(c)(3)  
> non-
> profit, you now get a COMPLETELY FREE Strictly Business plan, NSA  
> (_not_
> the sex type of NSA), FOREVER!!! ! !     !                  !
>
> Spontaneous outburst of outrageous generosity? Cynical ploy, carefully
> calculated to generate a bigger tax deduction? YOU BE THE JUDGE.

I use DreamHost myself and find it to be a really nice place to  
manage things, with good access speed and updated software. They have  
one-click installs for things like wiki's, Rails hosts, subversion,  
MySQL servers, Jabber servers, etc.
