Is John Turner on this list???   I know John has a lot of Tinderbox
experience.  I'm not volunteering him obviously but I was wondering if he
had anything to say on this.

OK I have an idea.  It is somewhat complex, but I think perhaps a very
valuable service.

Can we consider a box running VMware with multiple linux distros on it, and
do binary builds and packages?  I.e. Red Hat and Mandrake RPM's, Debian
packages, etc.  If this can all be scripted that would be awesome.  It would
be a great service to the community for us to take some useful projects and
provide automated binary build services for them.  Do the builds on a series
of rotated cron jobs so that you don't have all the different virtual
machines building at once.

I think we may be able to get the software for free (VMware) since this
would be an awesome advertisement for them.
