hmmm, nothing official, pypi, SQLAlchemy list, tweets?   if EXASol itself has 
some kind of user list, that would be good

well in this area its like a "definite maybe".  jenkins currently runs build 
slaves on an amazon cloud (the master is hosted on a Linode) and more backends 
means more test suites to run and more server time, which I pay for with the 
help of a good deal of gittip income.   in the current setup, the target 
database has to run on an AWS node of some kind.

I've been told that Rackspace has been giving projects free hosting though I 
have some reservations about that, including how hard it would be to get the 
whole jenkins environment to use rackspace instead of AWS without any hiccups 
(I've spent months getting AWS to run smoothly including submitting two patches 
to Jenkins itself).

Currently I don't know that I have a clean way for the main SQLA Jenkins server 
to run arbitrary remote tests elsewhere, maybe some of the other testing 
services like travis have some solution to that (I really love jenkins though 
and am not ready to give it up).

so perhaps where I'm at is "suggestions welcome".
