Hi Marc:

As I mentioned with Tim: Rackspace will be at SCALE. I can approach them
about donating making a CloudFiles  donation. I'm sure there will be other
hosting services.

SCALE runs Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Friday is a setup day for exhibitors.
So, if you can get an answer from TDF re: hosting, I won't pursue this
option during the expo.

Cheers,
jec
