Dear Charles and who else may be interested in the Amazon clouds, Slashdot just pointed me to Amazon's service of preparing public data for the cloud's direct access. A bright move by the EC2 folks, I'd say. They think about genomes, census data and whatever...and I thought about Debian-Med images plus public data.
How would you think about asking them to allow for a Debian-Med image to be regularly auto-updated as public data? The getData (http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-med/trunk/community/infrastructure/getData/?rev=0&sc=0) script could possibly be amended to work either with normal installations or in the amazon fantasy world. We could thus make use of communities outside of Debian to prepare data and (possibly) win a few individuals more for our distribution.
