It'd be nice if Travis CI took a step towards distributing itself more easily. I've got spare bandwidth and spare CPU cycles: why not provide downloadable Vagrant boxes or scripts to allow me to run a couple of CI VMs locally? I did look through their site for this kind of info, but didn't manage to find anything particularly easily.

Pardon me for being ignorant, but what exactly is Travis CI? I can't find any information on that site or on the github repo page. If I don't know what it is, I can't donate.

It's a CI system with amazing github integration. All you have to do is add a small config file [1], create an account, and then enable the post commit hook (a nice little on/off toggle) and your project is now being tested on every change [2]. It also has easy to incorporate badges you can put in PR's to show that your changes pass [3].

But aren't you testing new code before pushing to Github anyway? Still wondering about Travis' use case.

From the love website:

"Continuous Integration for the Open Source Community"

"Travis CI has run 757,465 tests for 10,844 open-source projects to date, including Ruby, Rails, Rubinius, Rubygems, Bundler, Leiningen, Parrot, Symfony, ... If you use any of these then you benefit from Travis CI."

Continous integration. Like Jenkins or Bamboo. Builds and tests your project automatically and gives instant feedback.

I would donate in a heartbeat if they had mono support. Without .NET it's just not that useful to me.

For anyone wondering: they have received $101.391 from 547 donors in 102 days of campaign.

Ah, the first payment is actually one of the guys testing if the payment process works on production; amusing.
