Hi Gang, Check https://proba-v-mep.esa.int/node/50
You can ask for a VM there. One can install Pharo on it, no problem (you'll be root of your world). There are datasets, Spark, Hadoop, GDAL, X2Go, QGis ... This is a presentation of the platform for the #DengueHackathon Kendrick users etc could find some use for this maybe. I am responsible for the Hadoop part of that thing and can help for whatever you need. Phil
