What, who, where? I didn’t mean to imply expectation from my side getting anything for free.

My impression was there are multiple (don’t know how many) people interested in central builds for OS X and thus there’s a subset of the community interested in maintaining and investing into the OS X build farm. I’m trying to sort out what our options are and whether and where I can contribute. Not sure which wire I tripped for you. :)

Cheers,
Christian
