Hi Aleksander-

I'd certainly love to see more outside participation around the testing 
we are doing.  Since our testing takes place on hardware isolated behind 
firewalls, making our work easily consumable by outsiders seems the most 
logical first step.

The lp:openstack-ubuntu-testing bzr branch contains jenkins job xml 
config templates that I use to setup new clusters.  They can (probably) 
be adjusted to suite you're needs.  It's also worth noting that I've 
been working on a new test pipeline to do pre-commit integration testing 
that makes better use of build parameters to construct a cleaner test 
pipeline.  I haven't gotten to setting this up in production yet, but 
all of that work (adjustments to build scripts, xml templates) has been 
committed to that branch in some place or another.  In the future, I'd 
like to convert all of our jobs to make use of such a pipeline.
