• Upcoming in office hours: Jenkins 2.0

  I hope many of you have had a chance to see the Jenkins 2.0 thread. I’m going to use the office hours next Wednesday to go through this proposal. This is still primarily for developers in the project, as it’s "just" a proposal with lots of details unspecified. It’s more meant to help people understand where I’m coming from and what goals...

• Bay Area JAM

  Last week, the first Jenkins Area Meetup (JAM) took place in San Jose, CA on Wednesday, Sept 23. What a way to kick off the first JAM other than to have Docker, John Willis as our guest speaker. John talked about immutable infrastructure and its benefits and role of containers. Kohsuke discussed Jenkins Workflow, the motivation behind the same and latest...

• GUI improvements on the horizon

  This past Thursday, September 24th, 2015, I presented a couple of prototypes of what I hope will be the future of the Jenkins GUI. Or perhaps more correctly, close enough to the future to start generating positive feedback from you the community that improving the Jenkins GUI is important and some pieces that I am showing are going in the...

• Take the 2015 Jenkins Survey!

  Just as in past years, we are running a survey this year, to get some objective insights into what our users would like to see in the Jenkins project. Obviously, the developers in the project deal with individual bug reports and feature requests all the time, but sometimes those day-to-day issues distract you from a bigger picture. This year, we kept...

• Plugin Spotlight: Version Column Plugin

  Most Jenkins controllers with a distributed build configuration will leverage nodes that run a agent.jar to start an agent. Regardless of whether the agent.jar is launched through a Java Web Start or SSH launcher, the jar will be copied from https://yourserver:port/jnlpJars/agent.jar to the build node. Keeping this jar up to date ensures that it picks up the newest features in...

• JUC Speaker Blog Series: Laurette Cisneros, JUC U.S. West

  Last year’s JUC West 2014 was packed with good gems of information – such as "how we did it" talks where the speakers shared their points of view on the tools they use for automating their pipeline. At JUC and other conferences I especially seek out talks about how others implement their Continuous Delivery processes. At the upcoming JUC West...

• Jenkins CIA Program and Meetup Updates

  A few years ago, the Jenkins community announced the Jenkins CIA program - the Continuous Integration Ambassador initiative to spread the word of Jenkins. As of recently, there hasn’t been as much activity, so this program needs to be revived! There are over 120,000 active Jenkins installations now and that number just keeps climbing and climbing. It’s important to bring all...
