Hi EdB; Right now all my servers are linux CentOS 5.8. If you need windows I have some unused MS Win 2008 servers licenses I can install. please read my in line comments to your questions.
Carlos What a generous offer, thank you! -> I have quite a bit invested in a Flex app so I'm very interested in Flex staying alive and well, since I'm still expanding the app. I was actually thinking of asking the user community if there was any interested in using one of the servers to host some sort of Flex Application/Services Directory since many of these projects seem to be dying on the vine, but I've been a bit unsure about asking... so if I can help I'm glad. 2 questions: - would (one of) these machines be accessible by others - the current Jenkins admins - from the outside? -> I can provide you with an IP from a pfSense firewall and you'll have full access to the server - would you be willing to do a test run of Mustella on "the best one" and see how well it does, before we set up the whole CI system? -> what would you need, can you be more specific? -----Original Message----- From: Erik de Bruin [mailto:e...@ixsoftware.nl] Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 1:30 AM To: dev@flex.apache.org Subject: Re: Mustella on Amazon EC2 Carlos, What a generous offer, thank you! 2 questions: - would (one of) these machines be accessible by others - the current Jenkins admins - from the outside? - would you be willing to do a test run of Mustella on "the best one" and see how well it does, before we set up the whole CI system?
