Most of Apache Infrastructure is based on shared resources, and our build environments are no exception. We currently provide both jenkins and buildbot based build systems, and the slaves naturally run jobs for several projects.
We provide access to Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, OSX, and a few flavors of Windows. With OO I could see a situation where having dedicated resources for some/all of the OS's would make sense. The ASF doesn't generally accept targetted donations and Infrastructure is long past the days of relying on hardware donations to survive. We currently have a few machines in the queue that we might be able to purpose as OO build slaves, but if we need more I'm sure the board won't mind approving a budget increase for us to do so. In short, just tell us what you think you need resource-wise, and we'll work with you to sort out the details. The Infrastructure Team is reachable at infrastructure@a.o, but I'm considering mentoring this podling to help bridge any gaps.
