Since PostGIS now is a big selling point for Amazon (and now Google PostgreSQL also supports PostGIS) and PostGIS relies on GEOS and GDAL, sounds like we can get some bite there for first PostGIS then GEOS and GDAL.

This is a great idea. Asking them to donate build services would be
a good start.

I don't know how easy it would be to setup Jenkins slave (I think I
asked in the past) nor I know if they can be for testing on
FreeBSD/OpenBSD/Hurd/Solaris/etc.

For Drone setting up a slave is pretty much running a docker container,
but that implies having a single setup being tested. But on the other hand
a (set of) drone slaves would be up to run/test any project (and PR)
registered on Gogs/OSGeo.

Having them provide my beloved and missed Buildbot would be even better !

Do you have a contact there for asking ?
