Our Parabuild employs many useful open source projects. So I though: "How can we give back?" It has downed on me that that best way would be to set up Continuous Integration and nightly builds for the projects that we use and like. How cool is that - Parabuild builds projects that it is made of!
So, here it comes: a Parabuild instance running integration and nightly builds for over twenty open source projects: JUnit, DBUnit, Hibernate, Ehcahe and many others.
It has been over two months since we added most of the projects. I should say that maintainers do a great job by building and testing changes before submitting them to their version control systems. Builds are green most of the times.
To spice up things, look at these statistics charts and build telemetry for some of them. You can click on the image and it will take you to details page:
Change Rate For Ehcache
Build Time For SwingX
See this bump in the beginning - that's the time when we moved Parabuild to a new server. You can see the difference in build speed.

By the way, it is also possible to embed real-time statuses for builds under Parabuild control into your project pages. These are some examples:
