Mac buildbot
Hello,
maybe someone from this list can help.
Two or three years ago, I organized the loan of a Mac buildbot from an
anonymous supporter, which has been kindly hosted at the Sun
respectively Oracle office building in Hamburg. It's a Mac Pro machine,
if needed I can look up the exact technical details.
The machine's name was buildbot-mac1.services.openoffice.org.
However, for quite a while it seems to be unreachable, and since the
recent changes, there's no contact person anymore.
Does anyone know where this machine is at the moment? Since it's a loan
where I'm in charge of, I hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Florian

The OpenOffice.org certification project is also intended to help with this
type of thing. Some promising possibilities now but it will probably take at
least a few months to get some "surplus" cash.

To complete this: The machine has been restored into a working state
after the build failures, however it has not been added back to
buildbot/tinderbox as the buildbot master did not report the results
to tinderbox anymore (and I took that as a precondition for
maintaining buildbots/tinderbox slaves myself, and as TDF was also
beginning around that time my personal focus shifted as well..).
So it is functional, with one disk for OS, and two disk in a RAID0 for
building..
(but I cannot access it either, connection times out)
The Mac OSX Server OS (10.6) license that has been donated as well did
expire, thus the it was replaced by the the regular 10.5

what would be of interest to me is where - in this particular case - the
machine is currently located. Up to now, I could easily assume it is in
the Sun/Oracle offices in Hamburg, but where is it now? My latest status
is that the machine itself was a loan, and that the infrastructure
budget holders (Stefan Taxhet, Christian Lohmaier and myself) decided to
buy a few new disks in 2008/2009.
The buildbot has had issues for quite a while, and I guess it would be
valueable for both projects to have it up and running again soon, that's
why I am asking.

Hi,
some of the old fellows of the OpenOffice.org project may remember the
CC and TeamOpenOffice.org e.V. sponsoring the project. Team OOo is still
committed to contribute to the OpenOffice code base is and is looking
forward to help with the old resources like the Mac Buildbot or the
pootle server or even donating more resources.

I think, people who know about such hardware are here on the list
already, so it should be quite easy to get answers. I'm not speaking
about Oracle hardware but of donations to the OOo project (like the
mac build bot mentioned by Florian) or servers payed from donated money
like the pootle server:
http://openoffice.org/projects/council/lists/budget/archive/2010-06/message/10
Although there might be no urgent need of those servers, it might be
worth to ask if these resources can be used (or how they are currently
used).

André

While that is true of the hardware Oracle has used for the project (which is the vast majority of the hardware in use), you should consider these messages from Florian and I as a clear indication that we need to request information on the disposition of specific hardware loaned or donated to the project.

At the moment, all we have is a Software Grant. While we could chose
to go back and ask for me (and likely will when it comes to other
source files that we determine we might need), I see nothing that
indicates that we have a need to request the transfer of hardware.
As to the question as to whether or not such hardware is Oracle's
property, I have no opinion on the topic.

This raises an interesting question. I'm aware of other hardware that was donated to the project (such as the Pootle server) which presumably should be transferred to Apache since it was not Oracle's property. Do we know where this equipment is? Where would Apache host such systems?
