<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have created an EC2 image with Pharo and Smalltalk in the past. If people are interested I can bring it up to date and make it public so everybody can try it out.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There are other cloud computing options besides Amazon's AWS EC2. For example from Rackspace. But I think AWS is the most mature and has the most features.</div>

<div><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; COLOR: rgb(68,68,68); FONT-FAMILY: arial, sans-serif; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse">I wondered about the AMI option as well.

<div><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; COLOR: rgb(68,68,68); FONT-FAMILY: arial, sans-serif; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse">I wonder how difficult it is to create an AMI of Seaside/Pharo - and ideally Andreas' SSL classes. It would seem like a useful thing to have so that people could get a bit more serious with Seaside. </span></div>

<div><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; COLOR: rgb(68,68,68); FONT-FAMILY: arial, sans-serif; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse">Is it just a question of money? If so, I would be happy to 'sponsor' someone to do it, provided we could then make it publicly available. The key bit is that it would have to be kept up to date, otherwise it would be a wasted effort.</span></div>

<div><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; COLOR: rgb(68,68,68); FONT-FAMILY: arial, sans-serif; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse">Also, I got an email from the sales people at Rackspace. Apparently I was misinformed and they could do a Seaside instance on their cloud stack, so that might be an interesting approach as well. Randal did a Floss show about Openstack (a few weeks back). Perhaps we should target that instead of AMI?</span></div>
