<p>For Mac OS X, it's not trivial - OS X can only be virtualized on OS X and needs a rather powerful machine for concurrent instances (Mac Pro with OS X Server), plus it's buggy when being accessed via VNC, so Apple Remote Desktop sounds like the better solution<br />For Linux, it's rather trivial<br />For Windows, we need to clarify the licensing and multi-user issues. Multiple users can only reliably logon with a Windows Server with Terminal Services and respective Client Access Licenses. VNC is not ideal, RDP is better here.</p>
<p>Things that need to be taken care of:</p>
<ul>
<li>Automatic deletion/resetting of user accounts, which might be easier on Linux, but harder on OS X and Windows</li>
<li>Prevent the machines being abused for malicious activities when you have a full graphical browser</li>

<ul></ul><p>Talked to Cloph about this ticket at length and finally agreed on a roadmap. Some details:</p>
<ul>
<li>licensing questions will be clarified by Florian
<ul>
<li>do <strong>not</strong> make the instance public before it's clarified, just handle the technical side and document it</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>RDP allows for two concurrent users</li>
<li>for more user, terminal server + CALs are required</li>
<li>user management: one local (non-AD) admin user, and one local (non-AD) remote user
<ul>
<li>either copy profile and copy back when "back to scratch" is required</li>
<li>or go for <code>NTUSER.MAN</code> instead of <code>NTUSER.DAT</code> -> Alex might be able to help here</li>
<li>for auto-deployment, <code>net user</code> can be used</li>
</ul></li>

<p>Well, we should try this a upcoming Hackfests. ;) Optionally blogging about -- while not essential -- might help.</p>
<p>Finally Florian, feel free to test this: After all the goal is to make bibisect accessable to ~everyone (including you).

<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Feedback</i> to <i>In Progress</i></li></ul><p>The Hackfest is a good idea.</p>
Cloph, can you:
<ol>
<li>merge that with your blogpost (<a class="issue tracker-4 status-6 priority-2 priority-default closed" title="Task: blog about Q1+Q2/2015 achievements (Rejected)" href="https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/1098">#1098</a>) - given I ask for this rather late, some short reference and pointer to the Hackfest is sufficient</li>
<li>make a test-drive during the LibOCon Hackfest on September 25 so we can identify issues to address in Q4<br />(The Hackfest is also a good venue for me to try it out live.)</li>
