We've managed to move to Ecuador and are settling in. I have an iffy internet connection which works about 75% of the time. It's usually fine except can have problems using Skype or large downloads. When it doesn't work, there's usually plenty to do, though it gets frustrating if you need to look something up or send an email.
I've managed to set up a demo install of the Mantis bug tracker at http://mantis.tools.one-shore.com or http://one-shore.com/tools/mantis. I plan to set up demos of several open source tools including bugzilla (3.0 and 2.x) and Scarab (if I can get a stable JVM on a VPS account.) As well as some test authoring and project management stuff, like dotProject and phProjekt.
Eventually I will provide hosting and what I call in my notes, for lack of a better term, a QA ASP (as in Application Service Provider.) I think that term is out of vogue nowadays. The big trick for me will be setting up reliable email. My number one employee or partner I'm looking for will be a good sysadmin with good experience handling email servers, backups, and security. I need a solid base to build on.
My number two wish (probably just a consultant) is for good graphic design. I know I'm not a designer, but hopefully no one will be scared away by my website's appearance. Maybe the product will speak for itself.
