A couple of questions for Nigel and Andrew: 1. What do you mean by "non-single-purpose machines" ? (I guess, machines they can use for non-Hadoop projects as well ?)

What's the process for donations ? - milind --- Milind Bhandarkar Greenplum Labs, EMC On 8/2/11 8:07 AM, "Andrew Bayer" <[email protected]> wrote: >FWIW, the ASF Infra guys aren't that keen on more machines they won't have >physical control of.
