Just reviewing the slides, I like the flow as well. I like how you
emphasize QA/testing, but it would be nice if you could provide more
details testing in Buildbot. I did the see the Twisted Trial steps in
the master.cfg, but I guess a little more details about it would help
since the topic is Automated QA, IMHO. Maybe something like the test
code needs to subclass the Twisted's unittest and it recursively
searches for test_* functions.
