Since I occasionally need a tinderbox for a couple of packages[1], I |
16 |
already thought about building one myself. I have plenty of hardware I |
17 |
could use for that but I cannot afford the power expenses these |
18 |
machines generate while being powered on. |
19 |
My idea is to ask a local server hosting company near my work place to |
20 |
sponsor some units of rack space and the required IPs to run and access |
21 |
the hardware. |
22 |
I haven't spoken to them yet but I doubt they would do this without |
23 |
getting something back. |
24 |
So anybody knows how good chances would be getting their company logo |
25 |
added to the sponsors already being listed on http://www.gentoo.org when |
26 |
they offer some sponsorship? |

[1] sys-libs/db:5.3 for example which is masked like forever and can |
29 |
only be umasked after a thorough tinderbox run |
