Hi Andrea et al! Lack of access to certain environments seem to be a returning problem in FOSS development. However, the need for those environments indicate the the user community uses them. Provided that licensing does not interfere, I would suggest that a cloud service be established, in this case for example with an Oracle instance and suitable set of geodata loaded. This cloud computer could be very slim in terms of cores and RAM since it would do only limited work. If it was normally shut down, and only booted when needed, the monthly cost could be kept at a minimum. The computer and software would of course need to be maintained, but I am sure this knowledge exists in the user community.
