well, anyone can contribute machines for their favorite/needed distro 
and ask eyal to add them as slaves with relevant labels so jobs will run 
on them.
I think eyal can also configure to run a job multiple times on different 
slaves (multi config job), to check node/vdsm don't break on any distro 
which added a slave.

I'll add a fedora machine and send Eyal the details to add as a slave.
before i do that, I want eyal to take a look at the jenkins EC2 plugin, 
so we can see if we can have the guest only up when needed.

well, the job can do this each time in case we instantiate more slaves 
to handle load, or eyal can configure each manually i guess.
