yes!

We are getting things together ( well, I just wrote up what should be an
announcement to go out in the next few days ).

We've got a PoC done for both BE and LE ppc64 - the ppc multilib stuff
needs some level of attention, but we will find out about that soon.

There are a few ways to get involved, either shadow the builds on your
own hardware - or work through build fails in the central service,
helping rectify things. You can also help with testing the distro (
including the installer ), and most importantly, you can help with docs
around the project, the code, and how other people can get involved as well.

As a free win, it would be great to see a group of people help bridge
the SIG content from x86 over to these arch's as well - but we are a few
miles away from having a usable base first.

Regards,
