Thanks Nima! I chatted with the OSU folks too a couple years back about relay and infrastructure hosting. Definitely a neat opportunity if a project can make use of their help.
Or even better than that, maybe we can use it for what Tom has asked for on "Cloud Compute Resources for Tor Browser" thread. Maybe instead of images as he mentioned in that email, we can have ansible scripts?
I feel like we have a lot more needs in infrastructure and hosting than just running relays. I'd be more comfortable if running relays would be entirely left to the community. This is based on the assumption that getting free infra from Open Source Lab requires some organization level involvement. One of the Googlers said that Google is one of the funders of that project, so I'm guessing we're going to have more chance of approval if we say we're going to use it for GSoC.
Cheers,
