Proposal from my side: My partner and me ordered 2 new server boxes. Each box has 32 GB main memory and 2 Shanghai Quad Core 2.4 GHz processors.
The boxes will be configured for failover und running virtual machines. ( KVM or Xen, depending if we choose Ubuntu Server or CentOS). The virtual machines are connected to the internet. I planned to denote a linux VM to geotools/geoserver for build jobs with an IBM SDK 6. We could also test with other sdks. I also want to install postgis,db2,oracle,mysql... to activate as many online tests as possible. Technically, I could also set up a Windows vm (perhaps with a sqlserver). To make it clear, I am not a friend of the software mafia, but in this situation I could imagine an exception. The problem is, that at the moment, I have no Windows and I must look for it. And, I will not pay for a M$ license. I think, we will find a possibility. Further I must delegate the admin job to a windows expert. I did no Windows administration since 10 years and I dont want to restart. Time frame: The delivery of the boxes will take at least one month, a second for configuring (we have to migrate from older boxes). A realistic point in time is late in august 2009.
