Thanks,
The ASF won't accept a donation for a specific project. However, as you note, it's perfectly fine for a project to use external resources (for some things ... we've been through that!). I know that there's a fair number of build slaves, both Jenkins and Buildbot, that aren't managed by ASF Infra; I have one in my basement, for example, WANdisco runs a Sparc machine for Subversion's Solaris tests, VisualSVN maintains a Windows box for tests ... and so on. So sure, if GridGain wants to give Ignite devs access to a VM for testing, that's fine. This is equivalent to paying someone to write code for Ignite. You just can't write it off and/or advertise it as a "donation to the ASF". -- Brane > Cos > > On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 01:01PM, Dmitriy Setrakyan wrote: >> Does Amazon provide any AWS accounts for Apache?
