Roland,

The Rackspace Cloud will donate permanent 1GB "cloud server" instances for development to all the committers on the project. All of them are 64 bit. Setting up a RightScale script, or equivalent recipe for setting up Ubuntu and CentOS is preferred, as there is no public image feature for this product in its current release. 64-bit servers start at $0.015/hr (yes 1.5 cents/hour ~$11/mo). Anyone who has any problem affording fees, just see me, and I'll arrange to waive them. We want you contributing to Drizzle, and don't want test servers to be a problem for anyone contributing.

We will also provide enough server resources to host the drizzle.org web site on our cloud as well, and require no advertising. I heard at the Drizzle Developer Day that having full control of your own drizzle.org environment without an advertising sponsor would be preferred over the current arrangement.

We believe that Drizzle is an important piece of the future of cloud computing, and want to do our part to see that it succeeds.

Hi All,

I'd like to propose at tomorrow's Drizzle Developer Day the creation of custom AMI's for Drizzle that I am happy to develop and manage. There are many possibilities and variances, however at this level of development I'd propose initially a general purpose AMI that supports a number of programming language implementations. I'd like feedback on whether this initially is acceptable or not.

I'd propose to create both a 32bit (small) and 64bit AMI's to have as a minimum:
Ubuntu 8.10  32bit and 64bit
Drizzle
libdrizzle (obvious dependency)
Drizzle PHP Extension
DBD::Drizzle
Drizzle JDBC
In addition we would then need then some application level software, or would people like to see this as a separate AMI?
Apache httpd
PHP
Apache tomcat
Would people like the AMI to include developer tools so you could checkout source and compile, or not.

This email is just as introductory information for discussion tomorrow.

Thanks

Ronald Bradford
