So, our options would be to have 38 (and growing!) accounts, one for each Conservancy project, and somehow transfer money between them (which I don't think is even possible), or this problem: which is that individual projects can't reboot, change the kernels, etc. I wrote to the VP at Gandi who coordinated this initial donation and am talking with other folks I know at various VPS providers to see what else I can learn about this problem. I have confirmed that OpenStack doesn't support this feature, nor is it on its roadmap, which means it's unlikely that any OpenStack-based provider would have this feature.
Guys, I'm always learning new admin stuff, thanks for your patience but -- What happens when one of the 38 locks up and needs a reboot; does squeak.org and 36 others go down briefly or is it just SOL for the guy who locked up? Didn't we just need a reboot just a few days ago? I'm confused but what all besides "full control" of our machine do we lose without the console? I understand this is less an issue for only a CI server, but in the context of everything we have currently on Hetzner; would this be an issue?
