Well you can take mine which is the freeswitch-fedora-6-svn-rev-9178  
one and start it.. update FS.. and repackage it back to S3... Its  
fairly easy.

Just start it.. cd /usr/src/freeswitch.trunk and "make current", then  
repackage.

Give me tomorrow and I'll have the freeswitch-fedora-6-svn-rev-9178  
image updated to the latest SVN.. then i'll automate a script to take  
the previous image.. update it.. and republish it to s3 on a weekly  
basis... but its the default config... I would rather have it come out  
in a specific config for ec2... maybe we can work together on that? It  
costs me 19 cents a month to host one image. :)

Not that I can remember.  EC2 is really nice.
