Welcome to the Open Computing Facility!
=======================================
The Open Computing Facility (OCF) is an all-volunteer student organization dedicated to free computing for all University of California, Berkeley students, faculty, and staff.
We're passionate about open source and free software.

#### **Student Organizations Subdomain Migration**
The university is migrating berkeley.edu subdomains for student organizations to studentorg.berkeley.edu.
See [ocf.io/s/subdomain-migration](https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/docs/services/vhost/subdomain-migration/) for the actions that your group will need to take.
OCF volunteers maintain services for the Berkeley community, including:
* [A spiffy computer lab](/docs/services/lab/) in 171 MLK Student Union
* [Web & email hosting](/docs/services/web/) for thousands of student groups and individuals
* [Free printing](/docs/services/lab/printing/) for all UC Berkeley students
* [Shell accounts](/docs/services/shell/) on our powerful [on-campus servers](/docs/staff/backend/servers/)
* [High-performance computing](/docs/services/hpc/) on our GPU server
* ...and [lots more!](/docs/services/)
Check out the events on the [OCF calendar](https://ocf.io/gcal/ocf) or the [OCF officers calendar](https://ocf.io/gcal/officers).
We hold [weekly staff hours](/staff-hours) to provide assistance with account issues or with OCF services. Drop by to ask questions or just to hang out!
