I think it is more like "crazy people doing cool things" than "people 
doing crazy cool things" but I guess that is an issue of perception. :-)

What Aaron is talking about and has implemented in several ways is 
exactly what I have been after for a decade, so my hope is that we can 
get a "PASE build" community gathered IBMiOSS with an automated way of 
building and installing OSS on IBM i.  The more stuff we have that is 
optimized for IBM i, the more weight the platform will have as a viable, 
scaleable platform.
