That's a great offer! I think we really need to think about how to make this decentralized, or at the very least take it out of my hands.
For sure, the ubuntu boxes that I was running are gone for good, so they could set up some Ubuntu 32-bit and 64-bit instances. I find that
about 9
gigs is the smallest useful system.

Max's (institution's) offer is great. If the disk space is ~50GB, then, according to HC, we can set up ~5 different systems. That's not bad, it
can
even be totally enough - other systems would be Mac/PPC anyway. If, however, you think the space is too tight, is it possible to throw in another HDD? They are cheap and I could take care of setting up some kind of Paypal-donations stuff on puredata.info in order to collect the
money.
Re decentralization: i was thinking about using the VM server (plus the other/private boxes) for slaves only, and setting up a master in the
cloud.
There are free Jenkins services out there, I'm just not sure if 1.) you like the idea 2.) those free services can be used for master only. Additionally, I was thinking about storing the resulting builds on
another
cloud service, but that may not be necessary with the ~5GB available
with a
free Jenkins service. Opinions welcome!
PS I too a look at Gitian and I had the impression that it has the main emphasis on security enforcement whilst usability/features are somewhat lagging behind at the moment. So for now, I suggest that we go with Jenkins, and try to reinforce authenticity by the means of the master.

did you mean to CC the list?
One thing to consider is that with a bit more work, we can build Pd-extended for lots of Ubuntu platforms using launchpad.

Yes i meant ccing to the list, sorry!
Launchpad builds from xyz-dev.deb packages, do I remember it right?

Launchpad builds packages using the full Ubuntu process. If we made a pd-extended package, then we can build it for many Ubuntu release, both i386 and amd64, using the Launchpad servers.
