I don't, really. To be honest, I wasn't aware that OSUOSL had all of
these services available.

Apparently I need to investigate the services we have available to us
through OSUOSL more closely. If I can possible ship some machines to
OSUOSL where we would have good remote access that could be extended
to trusted LLVM developers then this would be an excellent solution.

I will read up on this further and come up with a real plan.

Indeed, it was a "might as well try", not a realistic hope.
