>From an ASF Infra POV, cloud computing in the public hosting providers sense, doesn't make sense for us. Since we generally only pay for Hardware, and our BW/Power/Rackspace are all 'free' at most of our hosting locations, and even amazon's cheapest machines cannot compare to this. I do believe there is oppurtunity within our own machines to better utlitilize resources on many machines, and in the long run it will make sense to run certain ASF services 'on the cloud', but I don't see it changing super quickly for the ASF Infrastructure itself.
