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

Yes, http://monojenkins.cloudapp.net/ is what is used to test the
major projects under the Mono org on Linux, and also to test pull
requests.

We will soon be changing the setup there to accommodate
multi-configuration builds (e.g. x86, amd64, linux, os x, ...) so if
you have machines you'd like to contribute, that can definitely be
arranged.

Note that for each platform, we'd need 4 machines at minimum to be
able to keep up on busy days. The Small (A1) Azure tier seems to work
well enough for this purpose.
