Matt,

AFAIK, there is no general preference.
There is a machine available for OSGeo projects where we can install
tools for nightly builds, automated testing, etc.

I set up BuildBot [1] configuration [2] where every project interested
can get its own BuildBot instance.
It seems I have became a BuildBot maintainer (together with Howard and
Frank), so I'm able to help projects wanting to get BuildBot instance.

Certainly, if there is a need for admin's hand and help in setting up
another tools, and I have appropriate privileges,
I can also help.

Right, BuildBot lives on xblade14-2:
