That's great; having Ondrej on this full time will help a great deal.

I'd be glad if we could discuss it mainly on list, just to keep
everyone in the loop.

For now, I think we need to answer the two questions mentioned above:

1) What happens to the current installation on buildbot.scipy.org?
2) If we're not keeping buildbot, or if we want additional systems,
which ones should we use? Jenkins?

and then also

3) Which build slaves should we employ?  We have the current build
slaves, the nipy ones have been volunteered, and then there's the GCC
build farm mentioned by Fernando.

Ondrej, perhaps you can comment on what you had in mind?  If we have a
clear plan of action before you start off, we can all help out in
putting the pieces together.
