[Interest] New CI for Qt (and OpenSource Qt/QtC 3rd parties)

[md at rpzdesign.com]

My question was not really focused on hardware.

It was really focused on having people familiar with the CURRENT Qt CI 
system share
information about what developers are facing when organizing 
non-QtCompany CI resources.

There are interesting challenges like IOS actual devices running in CI.

That talk was MISSING from QtWorld2015.
