In Samba, we have Build Farm that's essentially a cronjob that will do 
automated building/testing on a machine and then will post (I believe 
through rsync) the results to a central server where they can be processed.

This way, anyone with a machine to spare can participate.  I'm sure we 
could do something like that with Xen if someone was able to provide a 
central server for the site containing the results.

Samba's build farm is located at:

http://build.samba.org/
