Tom et al,
I found the link to the Lab-AAS effort at Servethehome that I mentioned on your last webcast. It’s called DemoEval https://demoeval.com/ The project might have gone defunct (the frontend SSL cert has expired), but Patrick at STH might be willing to share his experience adminning it.
Basically this was a way to allow community users to pay for remote access to test out hardware that STH had received for evaluation. It’s a little different than the Lab-AAS, but similar in theme. Thought you might be interested.
Looks interesting for sure, maybe I will reach out to him.
