[Editor’s Note: The following is a guest post by Jenkins contributor Baptiste Mathus. For the non-French speakers, we’re looking for French speakers to help translate "Jenkins: The Definitive Guide" ] Si vous vous intéressez à Jenkins et que vous aimeriez pouvoir y contribuer, lisez la suite. L’année dernière, en août, nous avons attaqué la traduction en français du Jenkins Definitive Guide, écrit en bonne partie par...

Editor’s Note: The following is a write-up courtesy of Jesse Farinacci This past week I had the pleasure of attending the Jenkins User Conference in NYC. A hundred other like-minded continuous integration enthusiasts and I packed a very posh Marriott Marquis for a full day of Jenkins excitement. Famed Hudson and Jenkins founder Kohsuke Kawaguchi delivered the opening address to a crowded room. I’m sure everyone knows...

For years, we’ve been hearing about covert installations of Jenkins by groups of developers within larger companies. Rogue engineers, frustrated by the lack of continuous integration would download jenkins.war and run it off their workstation. As time went on, word-of-mouth within the organization spread Jenkins far and wide. Today we announce an initiative to help support these rogue agents: the Jenkins CIA. CIA being short for Continuous Integration Ambassador of course. If...

It is interesting having an open source project that is sufficiently old to start generating "lore" of some form or another. Jenkins is starting to get to be that age, having been started over 6 years ago. One of the most commonly asked questions, is about Jenkins' use of "blue balls" to indicate success by default. This is enough of an "issue" for some users...

With the JUC Paris 2012 call for papers open, it’s important to mention that we are also looking for sponsors for the various Jenkins User Conferences that are being planned around the world right now! Currently there are four conferences being put together right now: JUC Paris JUC New York JUC San Francisco JUC Antwerp If your company is heavily invested in Jenkins or interested in reaching the kind of...

(Editor’s note: Apologies for the delay in getting this wrap-up out, it’s been quite a busy month!) This year has already been full of milestones, the first of which being our first birthday as an open source project. The second major milestone for the project was that we went to FOSDEM 2012, arguably the largest volunteer-organized and operated open source conference on the planet. We had...

On February 2nd, 2011 the first release of Jenkins, version 1.396, was made available for public consumption. Thus marking a new beginning for many of us who had come to rely on this very versatile piece of software and wanted to see it continue to thrive. Along with some other bug fixes, the 1.396 release of Jenkins included a very important changelog item: Fixed a trademark...

A slick highlight video from the Jenkins User Conference, 2011 was posted recently which captures some great quotes from a number of the fantastic speakers who participated in the inaugural JUC. I’ve embedded the video below, enjoy!...

Over drinks this evening Kohsuke pointed out that he never saw a blog post about PagerDuty.image:https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://agentdero.cachefly.net/continuousblog/images/pagerduty_logo.png If you’ve never worked in a sysadmin role or in any other position that would require an on-call rotation, then you may have never seen PagerDuty. In essence the service provides a great series of integration points with Pingdom or Nagios for handling monitoring. As an infrastructure guy (part time),...

It’s not often that I get to use that much hyperbole in a Jenkins blog post, but I think in this case it’s allowable. A journey that started over a year ago by Charles Lowell has reached a new level, thanks to lots of help from Kohsuke along with Hiroshi Nakamura and Jørgen Tjernø. As of today, with Jenkins 1.438, you can now download and...
