Re: Build box needed/wanted?

[Joshua Kugler]

Well, the official word has come down, and due to University policy, I can't 
offer an IT resource to non-university personel.  If I was going to be the 
major contributor/coder, I could, but I can't just put up a "compile box" for 
general use by the public.  For the record, my boss said it was OK; this has 
to do with policy over which he has no control.

The idea was suggested to me to donate this box to a private entity, and then 
get it co-located, but I don't know how likely that is to happen (other 
issues about donating stuff instead of going through surplus).

Sorry that this couldn't go through...*I* liked the idea.
