Thank you, Casey for willing to help.
Hudson status: up and working. And most of the times it does its job.
Except that we would like a more finer control on it.

Currently Hudson are set up for us by INRIA engineers, and while it
was good from the beginning (we don't need to spend time setting up
things by ourselves), today our demands looks like outgrew what admins
at INRIA could propose :)

We will have a meeting on this week and discuss our problems.
We're certainly want to have more open access to servers by community
members, so they could set up, configure and run their own jobs.
Stef says that he want servers to burn in flames (means busy with
always building something).

But we meet some organizational/political problems we need to overcome first.

I think Stephane could say more about it.


What help i personally might need? Well.. building VMs on many various
platforms and making working cmake configs for them.
So, mainly its about creating and testing new cmake configurations.

Oh.. yeah.. we would like to set up a benchmarking suites for running
benchmarks after each VM build. And then outputting results to some
file(s), so we can detect performance regression from build to build
etc etc.
That would be really nice.
But that means some coding, because first we need to create some kind
of benchmarking suite, and also some layer to output results, which
hudson can understand (expect heavy xml resistance ;)
