• Windows installers are now available

  Good portion of Java developers use Windows, so we tend to think the opposite is true, that a good portion of Windows folks use Java. But this is not true. As Jenkins gains traction among .NET developers, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Java is very alien to them. They naturally have no idea of what a war file means, and often...

• The polls are open for the Jenkins Logo Contest!

  After a number of absolutely fantastic logo submissions from a number of designers, I’m extremely pleased to open the polls on the vote for the brand new Jenkins logo! The thumbnails do not do any of these logos justice in my opinion, so I recommend opening each logo up in its own tab to get the full effect :) I plan to...

The first meeting will be held today at 3pm PST (23:00 UTC) in the #jenkins channel on IRC (more details here). In Kohsuke’s post to the mailing...

• Jenkins!

  (This was sent as an email to the Hudson dev and users mailing lists after voting concluded, but I thought it’d be good to post it here as well.) The vote is closed, and the results are in. More than half of the total votes were from ineligible voters, but the result would have been the same either way. The final...

• Hudson's future

  First, my apologies for the lack of updates on the Hudson/Oracle situation for the last few weeks. While talks have been ongoing, the holidays have slowed things down, and we didn’t want to send out information that would later turn out not to be true. We’ve been waiting for the talks to reach a resolution - and I believe they now have. Since the java.net...

• Installing plugins has always been easy, now it's fast too!

  As one of the "men behind the scenes" of the Hudson project, a lot of my contributions tend to be in writing articles or handling infrastructure, anything to ensure folks like Kohsuke can continue to make Hudson great without being distracted by inane system administration tasks. This past week, one of my long-running infrastructure projects has finally "gone live," making...
