Hi Alex, We are coming together to set up the necessary hardware so external committers without infrastructure can push tests using our integration framework. This will most likely start off with a small rack of hosts using one hypervisor to start with and we'll expand it as we go. We are experimenting with it now and hope to announce it soon. I will work with Ahmad, Chandan and others who manage our lab in SantaClara on this. We'll mostly be talking more about it on the list in the coming weeks. Also - In the coming week we'll be announcing the integration test framework on the dev lists. Edison presented a demo of this at the bootcamp and I'm guessing some of the folks here were there to see it. Thanks, -- Prasanna.,
