Hi all, I don't have very high hopes, but does anyone happen to have available some kind of colocation services in the Bay Area that they could donate to LLVM? I would really like to establish a proper LLVM lab somewhere instead of relying on hardware which is residing at various companies. I would be willing to personally donate some hardware, but don't have any place to put it. My requirements are: (1) Must be in Bay Area. (2) Trusted LLVM developers could have at least 9x5 access. (3) Solid network connection. (4) Space, network, and power for a reasonable number of machines. I don't think we can promise you tax write-offs, but if that would be the deciding factor we could probably make that happen eventually. - Daniel
Can't offer it in the bay area, but i can offer space in oregon state university (which is where the osuosl machines reside). http://osuosl.org/services Why do you need access if you have people willing to handle support tickets and remote console/power control cards? I have yet to see a problem that i could not solve (since the cards can display console, control power to the machine, etc) either through this or a support ticket answered very quickly. I think you are going to have a very hard time finding donations with #2 and #1 being your requirements. The number of datacenters in the bay area is not as high as you might think (mainly because it's not a cheap place to put DC's!)

To be honest, I wasn't aware that OSUOSL had all of these services available.> I have yet to see a problem that i could not solve (since the cards > can display console, control power to the machine, etc) either through > this or a support ticket answered very quickly.Apparently I need to investigate the services we have available to us through OSUOSL more closely. If I can possible ship some machines to OSUOSL where we would have good remote access that could be extended to trusted LLVM developers then this would be an excellent solution. I will read up on this further and come up with a real plan.> I think you are going to have a very hard time finding donations with > #2 and #1 being your requirements.Indeed, it was a "might as well try", not a realistic hope. - Daniel> The number of datacenters in the bay area is not as high as you might > think (mainly because it's not a cheap place to put DC's!) > > > On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 9:26 PM, Daniel Dunbar <daniel at zuster.org> wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> I don't have very high hopes, but does anyone happen to have available >> some kind of colocation services in the Bay Area that they could >> donate to LLVM? >> >> I would really like to establish a proper LLVM lab somewhere instead >> of relying on hardware which is residing at various companies.

Another suggestion I've been given is this: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm. You wouldn't even have to supply hardware.
