Not me. Long ago I implemented a system which would 1) Copy the source code to a number of remote platforms via ssh and password less keys. 2) Send the commands to the remotes system to build the code via ssh and runs the self-tests. 3) At the end of the build, the remote system would copy back the log file via ssh using password less key. Given its simplicity, it worked quite well. I could test a build on about 10 machines in this way, with very little hassle. If anyone wans to see how a Buildbot system can work well, subscribe to the wireshark developers list for a few days. Of all the open-source projects I have ever come across, Wireshark was the most impressively managed. That was a few years ago, so it might be different now. I recall some of the developers getting annoyed when someone was selling CD's with Wireshark on eBay, but of course that is perfectly legal under the GPL, assuming he made them aware the source was available. I've no idea if he did.
