Oh, cool; I didn't realize it was already an SA.  That's great to hear.

Would it help if we bought some Sheevaplugs, put them online as koji
builders and gave access to Fedora developers?  That sounds like
something we could do.

Oh, and has anyone experimented to see whether qemu-arm on a fast x86
box with lots of RAM performs faster compiles than a SheevaPlug?

Sure.  Here's the list, we're currently on F11:

http://build.laptop.org/10.2.0/os125/os125.packages.txt

Okay!  Feel free to ask for specific help on the list or IRC channel
as well.

Thanks,
