Send a request to psf-bo...@python.org. Such request should include: - contact information (who'll be running this project) - project purpose/description - estimated expenses (in case of doubt, round up rather than rounding down) - a proposal of how payment should proceed. I'm not quite sure whether it could be billed on the PSF credit card (you may ask Kurt Kaiser in advance); traditionally, it worked best when we received invoices. There will be a board meeting next Monday, so it might be useful to have a proposal by then. As for whether that's good use of the money, I'm skeptical as well. I don't actually know what EC2 prices *are*, or what the current pricing for a root server is (plus there had been various offers from people donating hardware - from people who would be unable to also donate time). There was discussion that an EC2 instance can be turned on only when needed, so we could try to set up something like that (the build master could then trigger activation of the machine, IIUC). However, it might be that the machine would have to be up most of the day, as there would be one build going on always, anyway.
