I am curious, what are the direct and indirect costs in running Kibble as a 
service?

Well, depends on the scope.

If we look at just the direct costs and discount humans, the breakdown for the demo we run is as follows (this is all donated btw):
- demo instance, hardware: €45/mo
- text analysis services: €175/mo
- bandwidth: €5/mo
total: €225/mo.

The demo covers roughly 1/15th of the entire ASF (400 resource objects in our demo vs 6,000 estimated total public resource objects). If we were to extend it to cover the entire foundation, I would estimate somewhere around €1500+/mo, again not counting humans. Depending on how many features you need in the demo and the specific distribution of resources, the price could go up or down a fair bit - and then you have to factor in someone managing the stuff.

With regards,
Daniel.

Anyone have any ballpark figures?

Hi All

A quick email to let you know that I've signed up to the CHAOSS mailing list 
which I've been told is how you join CHAOSS! They also hold various conference 
calls so will take a look at those to see what could be relevant to Kibble.

I've mentioned to them that I see two levels of involvement, one is providing 
input into the definition of metrics for community health (and  I suppose this 
could also linked to community development), and the second is related to the 
development of Kibble itself as a software tool. Essentially we would want to 
ensure Kibble is in line with any standards that CHAOSS might define, so being 
involved we get to know about these and can provide input.

I'll try to bring back any relevant topics back to this list. And if anyone 
else wants to sign up to CHAOSS too then please feel free.

Thanks
Sharan
