Hey guys,
I know we all agreed to drop i686 support, but it leaves me with a small problem -- I'm one of the few devs not yet blessed with a 64 bit machine. I was thinking maybe we could use the donation funding to buy x86_64 build boxes for each of us. We've got a lot of donation funding and the income from Schwag would of course help, but we'd probably have to do a donation drive to raise about half the funds. It seems like a good use of the funding to me, and our community is totally awesome, I'm sure it won't be hard to raise it.
What do you guys think?
Are we looking at doing desktop machines or laptops? Desktops would obviously be cheaper, but that assumes you already have the keyboard, monitor, mouse, etc. -Dan
