Plus, surely in this day and age, we can figure out something better
than waiting for face-to-face events to test something. Maybe somebody
could arrange a donation of some slice of a grid (Amazon EC2?), make
various OS images available, and give engineers some way to request a
selection of tests, with a selection of OS images?
I tried putting a server up accessible over the internet and only ever
got one person testing on it once (or maybe it was just a hacker:-). I
did test my client against a server at CITI once, after signing a
bakeathon NDA. But, I agree, and I don't really think it even needs
a central site. I don't see why vendors couldn't put up servers
(production software or whatever they are comfortable having internet
accessible) that clients can test against. I'll be happy to put my
server up and I'd be happy to test against internet accessible servers
with my client.
Ditto. I think it'd be great to have a variety of client and server
implementations available over the net, but I've had no luck talking
anybody else into it.
I think blanket public access wouldn't be as effective as passworded
access to a cluster, much like how people get accounts on kernel.org
(which is an excellent model for shared-interest services).
On the test cluster, I would want to be able to really stress my
software, which to any normal firewall or casual observer would look
like a DoS attempt.
