VMBuild needs volunteers

[Wendy Smoak-3]

We have a Continuum instance available for ASF projects to use:
http://vmbuild.apache.org/continuum/groupSummary.action

This is our (internal) public face, and it would be great to have more
volunteers keeping an eye on it!

It was down this morning, so I re-started it (at 11AM MST.)  I didn't
investigate why it was unhappy.

One thing we really need to do is upgrade it to the latest version.
I'm hesitant to take that on alone, but maybe someone else is braver
than I, or 2-3 people might collaborate to get it done and documented.

And there are 11 open issues:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&&pid=10410&component=12311662&resolution=-1&sorter/field=priority&sorter/order=DESC

There is some documentation here:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/vmbuild/Home
(This needs to be moved into svn to better conform with other infra
documentation, something that's been on my list for a while now...)

Hi,
If I can help I will (propably not a 24/7 support :-) ).

Sure won't be so easy (is all the build history important ?)

Ok but where ? (something like
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/vmbuild or
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/continuum/vmbuild).
Using a site write with the maven format (apt xdoc) ?

None of us is, but if we spread it around, it works. :)

Brett, what's the next step?  Can you add an account on vmbuild for
Olivier, and add him to the Nagios list?  (Or can I?)

Probably.  It will be a good test of the data migration tools!

No, just plain text.  It might take special access to infra svn, too.
I've still got this on my list for now.
