Jenkins User Conference is touring around the world and coming back to San Francisco for this September, colocated with JavaOne. And here is the call for papers — we’d love users and plugin developers to share their experience with others. Please tell us how you combine plugins in an interesting way, how some of the features in Jenkins did or did not work for you,...

I’m back from the latest Jenkins User Conference in Israel, and I had such a fun (except the part where I strained my lower back on the day I head back to home so 10+5 hour flights were a torture.) I have this impression that Israeli people form a close-knit community on their own (somewhat like Japanese people do), perhaps because of the difference...

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...

The first stop of Jenkins User Conference world tour this year was Paris, where there’s a considerable concentration of Jenkins developers and users (sometimes those of us on the other side of the Atlantic call them "the French gang") The event was held a day before Devoxx France, in the hope that we attract more attendance. I believe there are 100+ people that actually showed...

Because I work on Jenkins day in day out, it’s easy for me to forget that most people don’t pay /that/ much attention to Jenkins. If you fit that category, and if you want to stay on top of the latest happenings in Jenkins, don’t miss Volume 2 of Continuous Information, the CloudBees Newsletter for Jenkins. This issue…​ Features details about the 6 upcoming Jenkins User...

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...
