A few weeks ago our very own Kohsuke Kawaguchi gave a presentation at the Silicon Valley CI Summit held in Mountain View. Within the presentation, Kohsuke included a collection of numbers about the vibrancy of the Jenkins project that certainly hasn’t gotten enough attention. While the slideshow is embedded below, here’s some good high-level points: Over 170 GitHub pull requests in the past four months, with...

As you might have noticed Jenkins finally has a brand spankin' new logo! Over the past couple weeks we’ve run two series of votes, one for the initial 11 logo submissions and then a final, run-off election, for the two most popular choices. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everybody that submitted logos! It is incredibly flattering to have so many people passionate about the project and willing to spend...

A little over a week ago we opened the polls to the larger user-base to vote for the new and improved Jenkins logo. After receiving hundreds of votes, we are now ready to enter the final round of voting (click images to see larger versions in a new window). Voting will end April 9th at 23:59 UTC, so make sure to tell your friends, coworkers...

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 end voting March 28th...

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...

Amongst all the work this week with setting up project infrastructure, the first release of Jenkins and a flood of developer activity on GitHub, the interim governance board has decided to hold periodic virtual meetings. 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...

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...

Let me be the first to say thank you all for your overwhelming support for Hudson and the work we’ve been doing. The Hudson community in general has always been incredibly supportive and friendly, but the outpouring of support from friends and users who’ve not previously spoken up has been awe inspiring. That said, let’s get down to business. As I covered yesterday there is some bubbling frustration within the...

There’s been a lot of discussion on the new mailing lists as of late regarding some of the infrastructure and ownership of the Hudson project. In case you haven’t been following along at home, I’ll try to catch you up as impartially as possible. The Facts 2009.06.02: After substantial problems with Java.net infrastructure, the dev community discusses new infrastructure options, including SourceForge, Google Code, Kenai, Berlios, GitHub, etc. Instead...
