Hi!

I assume by resources you are refering to buildbot slaves. I guess, running that
buildbot tasks is a rather CPU and IO intense more than it needs connectivity.
So if I'm getting it right all needed is to rent or collocate a box in a
datacenter and opt for lots of CPU power and fast IO.
Maybe we should compare offers of different datacenters for that, once we know
the expected cost by year, it's likely that we can find an arrangement that
Allnet could be the sponsor for that and I'd be happy to see that happening.

Cheers

Daniel
