I have found that using ElasticFox, I can only launch Large+ EC2 instances, while through Amazon Web Console I can launch smaller instances. Any idea why this is the case? Where do I report this bug/feature request?
Looking at the project home on amazon, it looks like it was last updated on 01 Sep 2010. Thats before micro instances were announced on 9 Sep 2010 and hence the reason(probably) for not supporting them.
The project home on sourceforge is probably the best place to request this feature or I guess you could get hold of the source code and do it yourself.
Well, as stated by Geoff Appleford, Elasticfox is an outdated extension. I dont know why it's development stopped as it is a great tool.
If you wish to do things that are achieved through Elasticfox, I would suggest you to take a look at Hybridfox. Hybrdifox is a fork of Elasticfox which supports other private clouds as well. It is also a great tool too.
It is also open source and actively updated. Check it's project home(http://code.google.com/p/hybridfox/)

Shortly before Open Text acquired Actuate I stood up an iHub F-Type server on Amazon so that people in my little company could have access to reports and information. Now that the acquision is completed Open Text has discontinued support and availability for F-Type and is directing users like me to full blown iHub which they make available free for 45 days (which they will, so they say, extend to 90 days) and afterwards it is a paid service and not affordable for me.
My question is...how are others providing for cloud based reporting for users in a way that is affordable? I am aware of this project that appears to offer something like what F-Type used to. Has anyone tried this ReportServer? Any thoughts or experiences you could share?
I am also open to other reporting platforms (Jasper, etc.) if they offer what I am after. This would be my least preferable option but my users wouldn't really know or care so I could do it if I needed to?
Download the latest BIRT Runtime Release Build (4.5.0), put the engine in a server, add scripts to run the reports you want.

First, I don't know if this is the right place to make this question but, I don't see any other place where to put it.
I would like to know how could I develop a mobile HTML5 App (using PhoneGap) with another friend, without need to have a copy of the project in more than one PC.
Could I somehow host the Code on a FTP Server and then we both could work on it for example, on Eclipse?
You need to look into using a source control system of some kind. Source control comes in many flavors, but in general it allows software developers to sync code between many servers, and allows developers to work concurrently without breaking each other's environments (imagine I have to take a component offline for many hours to code on it, but other people rely on it to do their work).
The two most common source control solutions are SVN and Git. Both of these work on Mac/Linux/PC and are documented thoroughly online.
without need to have a copy of the project in more than one PC.
How should that be possible? When want to view view something on your local computer, you must have it available on your local computer. But I think I know what you are looking for, three suggestions:
Use a cloud-based IDE. Cloud9 for example is one of the best. However, all of them tend to be slow and buggy.
Just synch the files between your computers. One of the best hosted services is Dropbox, or you can install ownCloud on your own Server.
Use a version control system. This is pretty common for software development as you can easily reproduce who made which change when and why. The best option is git and Github for hosting.
I know this is months late, but check out Adobe's Phonegap Build. Build and deploy in the cloud. They also allow you to assign a development team.

I've been trying to find a guide on how to get Team Foundation Server to turn on a lava lamp or traffic light to indicate the status of the build. I want to set up something that's visible right across the office so there's some peer pressure to encourage developers not to break the build; but I also want it to be fun.
There's a lot of examples for CruiseControl that use X.10 devices which seems like a good way to go. But I can't find anything similar for TFS. I'm sure that somebody must be doing this somewhere...?
Using X.10 has one problem in that it requires a serial port - but our TFS is completely virtualised in a data centre somewhere. Maybe there is some way to trigger the traffic light via an email?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
The TFS have got a nice API for getting the status of recent builds. You can use the API and design your own fun system.
Also take a look at:
TFS Build Monitor
TFS Build Light
At some point I had stumbled upon this youtube-video, where Martin Woodward presents Brian, the funky TFS-build bunny. Might be worth checking. It might also be worth checking this SO post.
The TFS API's are terrible they're a pain to do yourself. You could start with this open source project on Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/siren-of-shame/. That project is designed to work with a couple of different build servers, but everything is broken out, so you could start with the TFS 2010 project (TfsServices.csproj). Or if you don't want to do it all yourself that project is designed to work with a USB Siren that they sell (see http://www.sirenofshame.com/).
I've been reading about Node.js and doing some tutorials, and so far I'm liking it a lot, however I've been trying to find ways to implement it on an online server and so far I haven't found anything, is there any way to do this? Should it be installed the same way I installed it locally but on the online server?
Currently you need a VPS and setup Node like you would do it locally, you should also take a look at this article on how to make sure that your Node.js process runs all the time.
There are a couple of easy solutions coming up though:
Heroku, has announced a closed beta for Node.js support last April, but since then there haven't been any updates on the topic.
Joyent (which recently announced to support Node.js development) also has a closed beta at the moment, but it's full.
Last but not least, there's Nodejitsu, also in private beta at the moment, I don't have any further information on their status though.
As for when those three go public, no idea, but I guess Joyent will be the first to offer their service.
So, right now you'll have to go with the VPS solution and a hoster of your choice.
I started exploring CouchDB and I am interested in following:
Is there or will there be a Windows install?
If there is, is there a shared hosting provider that offers CouchDB?
Not knowing much about it, can it be somehow embedded in my application or bin deployed (don't laugh).
The most reliable source is the CouchDB download page
There are several places offering CouchDb hosting. Besides Cloudant, you can use most Infrastructure-as-a-Service parties like Google, AWS, etc.
This question was asked (and answered) elsewhere on StackOverflow here and here.
There's a Windows version now, available on CouchIO (http://www.couch.io/get) blog.
Download & Unzip
Double-Click bin\couchdb
Relax!
Visit http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils
There's been a fully compatible Windows build of CouchDB shortly after every source release, since the initial 1.0.0 release over 18 months ago. You can get this directly from the Apache CouchDB mirrors http://couchdb.apache.org/ now.
NB the embedded test suite is actually for developer testing; due to subtle timing constraints not all tests will pass first time round on every machine. In the next release of CouchDB, the tests will be done outside the browser which will be both simpler and more robust.
Please up-vote this so we have the right information to hand.
Since this question was posted, there is a Windows download available at https://couchdb.apache.org/ .
