To follow-up on Jakub's announcement: As part of the process of establishing a lab for CI the TSC is looking for suppliers for HW hosting and (optionally) CI contracting services. So if anyone has contacts and so on to this end please feel more than welcome to contact Jakub and myself who are coordinating this activity within the TSC. - Netdev Foundation TSC
