Robyn, et al, In the past I know we have reimbursed people for using their own personal EC2 accounts when participating in test days. Can we do that again for the upcoming cloud test day on October 20? If so, what do we need to do to make sure that happens?
Thanks,
Yes - we actually had no reimbursement requests last time, but we will certainly do it again.
So I suppose we should advertise that we have it available - I think i limited it to a small amount of money because we figured $5 would cover things. We also limited it to 10 people - maybe we can put on the wiki that we have this offer, and have the reimbursement list there. The only caveat is that people need paypal or are willing to wait for money to come via snail-mail. :) I do the reimbursing.

Alternatively, would it be possible for us to setup / share a single cloud account for the various testers to use? We could activate it for that day only and thus people would not have to sign up for the cloud providers on their own to test the software. Would just lower the boilerplate to testing the cloud w/ Fedora all that more.

I didn't put in a reimbursement request because it wasn't until quite a while later that the Amazon bill came through - this may have been the same for others.
Setting up an account for testers to share is a great idea.

+1; this is exactly the sort of thing that AWS's IAM service excels at. You can create a user for each tester, use ACLs to pick what they are allowed to do, and remove the users when the test day is over.
It makes billing a lot easier, too. ;)

Since you sound all expertish :) ... If I make a new account for that type of purpose, can I either get you to do the user creation magic/ACLs, or can you give me the walk-through? :D

Sure. Doing it myself wouldn't teach anyone anything, so when I get a chance I will write up a couple wiki pages.

I suggest reading them in order. Feedback is welcome.
