As of today, we have some slaves hosted on the Ovirt infra, and some
applications running in a paid-for Openshift v2 account. I'm in
discussions with Ovirt about increasing that capacity, and we've
requested space on Openshift on v3. There may be other things possible,
I'm following up on that.
However the story gets yet more interesting. Today, I received this
email :)

Hello,
We apologize for any confusion yesterday’s communication may
have caused. While we’re no longer accepting new applicants to the Open
Source Discount (OSS) program, all existing OSS program customers will
keep their credits. Rackspace is committed to open source technology,
and we look forward to continuing to support you and your Open Source
project.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your account
manager.

This seems to have been sent to all OSS projects at Rackspace, see http
s://twitter.com/ericholscher/status/921109823671869440 for example.
There's no way we were "confused" - I spoke to an Account Manager to
confirm it - so this wording seems to be a fave-saving excercise.
However, it's a positive for us, and I appreciate their continued
support, so we won't call them on it :)
So, the heat is off - but for how long? Such events are usually the
start of a slow decline, and I would still be keen to move things away
from Rackspace. I think the plan now should be to move the web host,
Puppetmaster, and Jenkins master away from Rackspace, and use that
solely for CI slaves. Then if anything happens at short notice, we lose
only capacity and nothng more serious.
I've already had several community members reach out to me privately,
so with Rackspace staying, I'm confident we can actually increase our
slave capacity for the short term. My thanks to all of them, and stay
tuned for announcements once deals are agreed ;)
Greg
