Sorry to hijack the thread a bit, but I was thinking recently about
adding contributor projects to some sort of CI.

There's some nice Qt libraries around and some nice out-of-tree
QtCreator plugins in the wild, wouldn't it be nice if such Open Source
projects were integrated in such CI systems?
Even if they are clearly marked as
unsupported/unofficial/untested/<insert-your-statement-here>?

I have the same goal here, I'm planning on setting up my own CI for
some of my projects, and I wouldn't mind to let other people use it
(within some yet-to-be-defined fair limits and conditions [1]).
I'm currently renting a decent build machine (x86_64/OpenSuSe running
Jenkins) and planning to add another one before Christmas (likely
x86_64/Ubuntu). I am considering as well running a "cheap" dedicated
ARM64/Ubuntu server.
As a side note, I'm only interested by modern setup (recent
architecture, recent OS, recent Qt/QtC version)
