 == Proposed Solution ==
 
-TBD
+Services will be provided by Trevor's company, OTX Systems.  OTX Systems already has a !PayPal account.
 
-This is a more detailed description of the actual changes desired.  The contents of this section will vary based on the target of the RFC, be it a technical change, website change, or process change.  For example, for a technical change, items such as files, XML schema changes, and API chances would be identified.  For a process change, the new process would be laid out in detail.  For a website change, the files affected would be listed.
+A !PayPal donate button will be placed on the !MapGuide !OsGeo website.  The button will include a hidden tag for builds donations.  Monthly reports of the received donations will be generated by OTX Systems and emailed to PSC members.
+
+ 
+Xen virtualized hardware will be provided to run the builds.  The following hardware has currently been configured:
+
+ * HP DL360 G5 Xen server (CentOS 5) with 8GB of ram and 8 cores (approx $4000)
+ * HP DL185 G5 NFS server (CentOS 5) with 2GB of ram, 2 cores, and 400GB of disk space running in a RAID10 configuration (approx $6000)
+ * Private subnet with a single static virtual IP address exposed though a Juniper Netscreen firewall (approx $3000)
+
+Additional hardware can be acquired as needed.
+ 
+The hardware is hosted out of Trevor's basement using a cable modem business plan costing $100/month.  The bandwidth should be acceptable for running the builds.  It will not be sufficient to host a public download site.  OTX Systems has a reseller account with a cPanel hosting provider which can be upgraded as required to provide sufficient bandwidth for the download site.  Cost will be determined by bandwidth usage and likely range between $25 and $150/month. 
+
+The following virtual machines will be set up:
+ * Windows 2003 domain controller to provide local DNS and user authentication
+ * Windows 2003 build machine
+ * Local subversion proxy
+ * CentOS 5 (x86) build machine
+ * others?
+
+
 
 == Implications ==
 
-This section allows discussion of the repercussions of the change, such as whether there will be any breakage in backwards compatibility, if documentation will need to be updated, etc.
+Running build hardware out of Trevor's basement is cost effective but high availability cannot be guaranteed.
+
+The Windows 2003 virtual machines are licensed through OTX Systems SPLA agreement.  The per user licensing cost under the SPLA agreement is $6/month.
 
 == Test Plan ==
 
-How the proposed change will be tested, if applicable.  New unit tests should be detailed here???
+TBD
 
 == Funding/Resources ==
 
-This section will confirm that the proposed feature has enough support to proceed.  This would typically mean that the entity making the changes would put forward the RFC, but a non-developer could act as an RFC author if they are sure they have the funding to cover the change.
+OTX Systems will provide infrastructure and Trevor will maintain the infrastructure in his spare time.
+ 
+The community will provide funding for ongoing maintenance of the build infrastructure.
