For making an image public, it would obviously be great if Amazon would sponsor the image...
You are missing the point, imho. I think the real issue, for me anyway, is that Amazon is actively discouraging what is essentially a community, in spite of the fact that they and many of their users rely on the community to get things done, both work and play.
However, if this isn't the case maybe centos.org could publish an image identifier(s) on their website and then have it labeled 'public' on the AWS console.
Well, what is centos.org ? Why dont you go ahead and document the build process, and I can plumb that into the distro-build scripts.
Each image has a unique identifier used to instantiate it, so as long as centos.org publishes approved ids then that would be a pretty good work around in my opinion.
workaround to what ? Amazon being hostile to open source projects ?
