i am reasonably certain that Toshaan Bharvani would be prepared to do that although he would need to speak for himself. the other option would be to donate it to the University of Oregon who already have POWER9 systems that are accessible to FOSS projects via the "OpenPOWER Hub". cc'ing Sameer as well. (in case that wasn't clear: FOSS projects can *already*, right now, apply for access to POWER9 systems, do i have that right, Sameer?) > Is there any project or developer here that would be willing to take this motherboard and create > virtual machines that other projects could have access to? > > Thoughts? > > Thanks, > > Joshua Branson > FOSS enthusiast > https://gnucode.me > > -- --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68
