The Apache PLC4X project got a dedicated build agent that the PMC has root access too ... I could bet that it should be possible to get one for Royale ... Even if it has to be a Windows or Mac machine in order to run Flash or Air tests

But what I don't understand is why we need to use a MS server like Azure and why other projects don't. What they offer to us that we can't get with standard Apache infrastructure servers. Understanding that could make us search for a solution and even try to search it in standard Apache. For example, I understand that we use CI to get nightly builds, so we have a page where all artifacts are posted in a daily basis. So, maybe we could get something similar in github and get builds.a.o do the jobs?
