Ignore my daydreaming above ;-) What we could use right now is a couple of machines that can check out and compile our software, and can run python code (buildbot and twisted). We dont need static IPs or anything fancy, though those things wont disqualify you. It's good but not necessary if the machines can stay up and be connected to the net for long periods of time. These computers would become "buildslaves", which means they'd be pretty similar to what "farm slots" are in the current Compile Farm. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky how many no money boys are crazy how many boys are raw how many no money boys are rowdy how many start a war ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
