9X :-)
adding my obviously biased +1, so not sure if it counts...
+1 for including the project as is.
If someone wants to run the project test or build it, the right way
to vote is by sending patches and making it happen.
I think we should get out of our gerrit silo and move all ovirt
projects to github. This will give ovirt much better visibility.
Here are some projects developed on github:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
I would add also
https://github.com/ManageIQ/ which we as oVirt devels are contributing to
regularly.

We are using travis for this. Our complete config file is:
language: android
script: "./gradlew build"
android:
components:
- platforms-tools
- tools
- build-tools-21.1.2
- android-21
We don't have any additional tooling developed or anything like that.
If we will start thinking about doing some custom/complicated stuff, we
may consider moving to ovirt's CI. Currently, I don't see a reason.

We need to serve them using google play store so it will reach the users easily.
We could serve also RPM packaged APKs
or even create our alternative "something like play store" but Im not sure what
benefits
it would bring us.

+1
Well, long story short, moVirt is a simple small tool developed by a very small team
and occasionally contributed by community (mostly as outreachy interns or intern
candidates).
It needs a swift, stable, minimal and well known tooling around which does exactly what we
need.
The current combination of github for code and issue tracking + travis for simple CI
served us fantastically. I'm quite against moving to other place just because it may
bring
some benefits in the future.
