[Mono-dev] Still seeking contractor to adding Tizen support to Mono

[Sergey Zhukov]

Anybody can use Travis.CI or drone.io as build system. They can run
tests on different platforms. For example, here the post how to run
tests on ARM platform using Travis.CI. 
http://www.tomaz.me/2013/12/02/running-travis-ci-tests-on-arm.html 

Also Travis.CI has built-in support for OSX and Ubuntu operating
systems. So it's possible to write script, which will test mono across
several tizen platforms the only bad thing could be a build time
limitation.
