Storage for the website

[till]

The storage for the website is currently "broken" (Bytemark account is gone).

On Slack, it was suggested to move to Amazon S3 and I wanted to volunteer the storage through my company. It's an S3 compatible storage, hosted in Europe (in Berlin to be specific). We offer it to our users currently, so it's in heavy use and not going away.

I am sure we won't be using TBs for sponsor logos and avatars. If there's consensus, I can setup an account and we can move the carrierwave integration to use this going forward.

Someone already started a PR to use S3 (#2226), so we can use this work to move forward?

I had a similar idea, and I think the feeling is that the charity should have its own account on whatever hosting service we end up with, rather than 'borrowing' someone else's. I think it's probably the right call, but it's frustrating to not be able to just get started

I hear you. We will just have to be patient a little while longer, and then we can make improvements.

@jonodrew @mroderick I created a codebar AWS account. If you already have personal AWS accounts I can add you as a contributor to the org account, I just need an email address (otherwise there are login deets in 1pw, feel free to use those).

Will DM you!
