This is a guest post from Owen Mehegan (aka autojack) In 2014 Google announced that they will be shutting down their OpenID 2.0 authentication endpoint and replacing it with Google+ Sign-in, a library built on top of OpenID Connect. The old Google endpoint will shut down on April 20th, 2015! Accordingly, if you are using the Jenkins OpenID plugin to authenticate users with the ‘Google...

As a part of the Jenkins 100K celebration, Dean Yu, Andrew Bayer, R. Tyler Croy, Chris Orr, and myself got together late Tuesday evening to go over the history of the project, how big the community was back then, how we grow, where we are now, and maybe a bit about future. We got carried away and the recording became longer than we all planned....

In preparation for Jenkins 100K celebration, I’m going to record a one-time podcast with Dean Yu, Andrew Bayer, and R. Tyler Croy. My current plan is to go over the history of the project, how big the community was back then, how we grow, where we are now, and maybe a bit about future. But if you have any other suggestions/questions that you’d like us to...

Jesse is one of the top contributors in the community, so it’d be definitely worth your time!...

A lot of us has grown fond of our loyal butler Mr.Jenkins over time, which was created by Frontside and chosen as a result of a logo contest. In the true open-source style, the logo has since evolved into many different derivative works, such as a plugin, a 3D model, and a bobble head. Our friends at CloudBees are running a #BreakingBuilds social media contest...

Jenkins started with a notion of jobs and builds at heart. One script is one job, and as you repeatedly execute jobs, it creates builds as records. As the use case of Jenkins gets more sophisticated, people started combining jobs to orchestrate ever more complex activities. A number of plugins have been developed to enable all sorts of different ways to compose jobs, and many...

This has helped us identify and fix build breaks very quickly. We have gone even farther by integrating Jenkins, Kyua, and Bhyve. Kyua is a...
