I’ll be visiting Tokyo again for the week of 2/21 for a number of events. Tokyo Jenkins User Meetup The Japanese Jenkins user community may not be as visible from outside but very strong. This is the 2nd meet up in Tokyo, and once again we maxed out the 80 people room capacity in just a few days (but you can still RSVP for the social...

As mentioned on Friday the Jenkins project held it’s first meeting on the IRC channel at the request of the interim board. In the interest of transparency, we recorded meeting minutes and tried to involve as many folks as possible. Topics Covered Proposal/Discussion of Jenkins project governance structure What to do about the logo Registering the Jenkins trademark Moving Jenkins under an umbrella organization What shall we do with a...

As I had mentioned in a previous post back when Jenkins was called something else, who can remember what anymore, I spent a lot of time working on a mirroring network. With our departure from any and all Oracle infrastructure, this mirroring network has now become our sole distribution mechanism for pushing out all releases and all plugins, in short, lots and lots of...

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 list, he further explained...

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 migration problems, Oracle and...

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 downloads of plugins and...

Friday afternoon, Kohsuke, CloudBees CEO Sacha Labourey and myself jumped on a conference call with Hudson contributor/Oracle employee Winston Prakash, Oracle manager Denis Tyrell and of course Ted...
