What sort of hardware would RIOT need for CI? Would a machine with, for example, a pair of E5-2670 (eight cores @ 2.60 GHz), Xeons between 64 and 128 GB of DDR3 ECC RAM, an SSD or two, and maybe some spinning storage suffice or are we talking about something like a highly available cluster consisting of half-dozen or more HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 machines each with a pair Xeon 8100s (28 cores @ 3.60 GHz), a terabyte of DDR4 RAM, and a pile of blazing fast NVMe drives?
I'm just thinking that if a machine or two with specs closer to the first example would suffice than I imagine the RIOT community might be able to find a way to make it happen. A word of warning… While I'm absolutely serious about trying to help out in this area (and other) please know I'm currently trying get the ball rolling and determine what type of resources the project could most use; it'll take a bit of time to turn these early thoughts into something real. Personally, I may not have piles of cash laying around but I do have something else of value, time.
