Hi,

I don't think we, Anybox, have officially reacted to the announcement of
the new organization yet, but we of course welcome it heartfully and
would be glad to help.

We have started continuous integration of some of these community addons
with our buildbot based tool. We know that there are people not
convinced by our approach, but it works right away and is quite simple
and open.

As an experiment, we created a case for the branches belonging to the
account-core-editors team.
The result can be seen here :
http://buildbot.anybox.fr/waterfall?builder=6.1-community-account-postgresql-9.1&builder=6.1-community-account-postgresql-9.2-beta3
(this is a restricted view of http://buildbot.anybox.fr/waterfall)

Currently this is red, see at the end of this message about that.

Modifying or adding more such cases is just a matter of doing a pull
request on a public repository on which the buidbot updates itself every
night: https://bitbucket.org/anybox/public_buildbot_buildouts.

The configuration files themselves are simple enough (a buildout
configuration, and a reference to it in MANIFEST.cfg) and mostly amount
to a list of bzr locations and addons to install.

To get an idea of how it works, see this commit:
https://bitbucket.org/anybox/public_buildbot_buildouts/commits/e194f2427759a07ad4e04c96f2aa0c99

and that whole file:
https://bitbucket.org/anybox/public_buildbot_buildouts/src/4e5879c8f8994e6492d8a5734b9058cc7617f458/6.1-community-account.cfg?at=default

I don't want to enter into more details right now, but the system is
much more powerful than this small experiment demonstrates, all of this
is fully documented and we're available for questions if people are
interested.

As a side note the current builds shows two problems with
account-core-editors branches. Here's a link to the relevant log file :
http://buildbot.anybox.fr/builders/6.1-community-account-postgresql-9.1/builds/9/steps/testing/logs/test.
The first issue seems to be a true problem with some data, and the other
one is the use of an old and deprecated OpenERP option about rounding.
If I were more familiar with the modules being tested, I could certainly
say more. Should I report them as bugs in launchpad ?

I also tried to create a case for sale-core-editors, but there's a
dependency to a module I couldn't find in these newly extracted
community addons (product_get_cost_field module).

Regards,
