FWIW, everything has been mentioned publicly on this list already. But sure enough there's a need to advertise the information more clearly on official places, such as the Debian website (hence my mention of work in progress on that front in my previous mail...). > I'm not talking about the end user, but rather the publisher who > pays for the publication in the relevant cloud charges i.e. ebs, s3 > etc.. If that account is canceled, the images go bye bye too. We have setup a "debian" account. Currently James has access to it; and he has called publicly for other DDs willing to get access to it to, for the purpose of updating images. On that front, it will be usual Debian team mechanisms. But we haven't paid a cent for that account, nor we intend to. So I'm not sure why you think we should have paid something. But on the bright side, as we have nothing to pay, we don't risk being closed for not paying :-P FWIW, Debian money dealings via SPI are public. Everyone can check on them that we haven't paid Amazon and that we do not plan to earn anything from them either.
