Hi, I'm on the AWS mailing list (see below) and a lot of the infrastructure they are putting together sounds really interesting for the potentially large-scaling projects that mySociaty put together.
Does anyone know if Amazon have any discount rates for NGOs? Has mySociety considered asking Amazon for someone to have a chat with about what you do and how they might be able to help? I'm also interested in the mySociety branding policy. I've worked with organisations where getting free stuff by putting a "Powered by <brand-name>" logo is fine and with others that were horrified by the concept.
