I think that shared resources are a key part of the foundation's role, and love the idea of having reference platforms for testing (quality, scale, compatibility are all testing areas I would imagine would benefit). I'll work on weaving that in and also keep it in mind as we pull resource estimates together.

Can you weave that in there somehow? -- Soren Hansen | http://linux2go.dk/ Ubuntu Developer | http://www.ubuntu.com/ OpenStack Developer | http://www.openstack.org/
