Great if you can reuse our OJS or any other web stuff. 

We are planning to shut down the Amazon instance at the end of the year - the web site will go into archive mode somewhere on an OSGeo server. If you guys wanted to pick up the amazon server with the OJS I am sure we could arrange a transfer, I don't think it was very expensive for a year.
