Well I spoke with Toan Nguyen Enterprise Sales Manager I have no idea if there is anyone we should better contact. All I did was fill out the form on the AWS Sales site. He was the one responding to this and this morning we spoke a few minutes.
To me it looked as if Amazon wasn't really willing to provide Medium Windows instances free of charge. He claimed that Amazon couldn't go around giveing away free nodes to everyone (At least this was the essence of what he told me). Eventaully someone else might think differently.

If anyone has a real contact at AWS, the answer might be different. I can't imagine it costs them very much to donate some resources to Apache Flex… Anyone have a contact there? I personally use AWS, but not on the scale that I have any real pull… On Feb 19, 2013, at 10:25 AM, Christofer Dutz wrote: > Well unfortunately I don't have good news :-( just tasked to them and it > seems they don't want to do more than give us their 1 year free offer. > Unfortunately that doesn't cover windows and medium sized instances. > > I think a CI nightly build is essential for getting a stable trunk. > Especially with more and more people contributing and not ruining the entire > test suite. > > Chris > > > Gesendet mit AquaMail für Android > http://www.aqua-mail.com > > > Am 19.
