I try to keep the asks reasonable, but I haven't been told "no", yet. The reason why it'd be great to have more supporters is that (at a cost of slightly more paperwork) we could externalize the whole shebang, and give out SSH keys more freely :( I also heard that some clouds or LF have free cloud credits for open source CI. But IDK how I could connect those to my corporate account.. Anyway. In my ideal world we'd write a check for LF and get a bunch=20 of VMs in DO or alike. In the present reality we have AWS which only=20 I can access =F0=9F=A5=B4=EF=B8=8F Good thing is the system is distributed. Hopefully over time more people will join in by reporting the results (like Mojatatu does with TCD).
