The Hadoop project was able to vastly increase exposure to their potential communities through the provision of AMI's. For us, the case is clearly a win as we are really interested only in the OT and federation aspects. So being able to provision many servers via script and also being able to attach durable storage is great.
We have put together an AMI a few months ago based on Cent OS and using ejabberd. Would be good to have one ready made when you release the final code. The ISO's are just fun to send out to people who will find any excuse to not look at something. e.g. if the company have already invested in virtualization infrastructure, These people are not a problem and will already know how to configure. If you want to get people to give it a go, make it easy and cheap. An AMI allows potential users to build a network in a few minutes, play with it at a minimal cost. .09€/hr per server. No hassle with their network or security people, just provision one or more instances and play.
