We've been working hard on a new distributed testing and run time infrastructure at SpikeSource called BlackBadger.  We made the decision to open source it after the initial proof of concept got everyone inside of Spike excited.  We also think this baby has legs that others may find useful.

I am about to leave now to board a plane to San Francisco but over the coming days, I'll talk more about BlackBadger as we run up to EuroOSCON.  Better go now as my BlackBadger partner is about to arrive and demand I take him to the airport without waking him!
