OpenJ9's CI builds are powered by donated machines. We should be publicly thanking the providers of those machines on website.

DanHeidinga commented 6 years ago

pLinux & AIX machines, zLinux machines, Travis.ci, and now Windows machines.

@DanHeidinga is there somewhere you can point me that says who donated what please? I know that IBM donated some machines, but not sure all came from IBM. Thanks

@mstoodle were you involved with getting the p & z Linux machines? Can you supply details on who is providing them?

@xliang6 Can you comment on who's providing the AIX machines?

The 4 new windows machines are from IBM.

@DanHeidinga @SueChaplain AIX machines are from IBM. Thanks.

@DanHeidinga @SueChaplain For Linux on POWER and Linux on Z, there's a paragraph in my blog from way back in september: https://mstoodle.github.io/OpenJ9-2weeks/

For convenience, here is that paragraph (my bold to highlight the POWER and Z sentences):

On that front, we have made great progress setting up and configuring our Jenkins CI server and getting builds and tests running. We’d like to thank the Eclipse Foundation for their incredible effort to help us create this project and to get our infrastructure in place and to have all the bits talking to each other. Thanks to Travis-CI for allowing open source projects to do build and tests from GitHub! We’re using Travis-CI as part of the Eclipse organization for our X86 platform build and testing. For the POWER platform, we would like to thank the Oregon State University Open Source Lab and their POWER Development Hosting facility. And, of course, the IBM Linux Technology Center for supporting this lab and enabling open source projects to build and test on the POWER platform! Finally, for our Z mainframe platform testing, thanks to the IBM LinuxONE Community Cloud for providing open machine resources without which we wouldn’t be able to build or test this impressive platform. Without the help of these organizations, our project would not be able to run as effectively in the open, so we’re really grateful for their support! To be honest, we’re still looking for some dedicated X86 resources we can build and test with directly from our CI server, if anyone is in a generous mood :) .

Perhaps for the AIX and Windows machines we should elaborate more on how IBM has provided them? The AIX ones come from the Power Development Platfotm. I believe the Windows ones come from Softlayer.
