Ari,

Ah cool - I read the reply from Mateusz out of order.

 From my perspective it would be great if the two of you could cooperate
on this a bit so there are more people who understand how the buildbot
instances work.  November would be soon enough.  You and Mateusz could
start with the two gdal slaves currently running on the 14-2 blade.

I'd also like some review of what would happen if the buildbot master
died suddenly.  That is, are things being backed up in any fashion?
How long would it take to reconstitute the services?

Best regards,
