What is Snakebite?

Why do we develop open source software on closed networks? Why do open source developers only have access to a fraction of platforms that their software will eventually run on? And why the *@&# are the Windows buildbots always red?!

Snakebite was created out of a desire to try and address problems like these faced by open source projects.  In essence:

Snakebite is a network that strives to provide developers of open source projects complete and unrestricted access to as many different platforms, operating systems, architectures, compilers, devices, databases, tools and applications that they may need in order to optimally develop their software.

The Snakebite network is in the final stages of being built and should be ready for use around July 2012.
