LinuxONE community cloud is an educational / demo tool hosted at Marist college. It is not a public cloud / pay-as-you-go model. At the end of the trial the instance is simply shutdown, and there is an extremely limited amount of cloudy things one can do there. Note "the instance" above, as one really gets a quota of just a single instance for the duration of the trial. You should try contacting them with your needs and requests. Some open source projects got instances for a longer period of time, but it's still no guarantees / gratis service.
