As Kohsuke mentioned in this post, the Java.net migration has caught just about everybody off-guard in the Hudson community. The tools we use hosted by Java.net are essentially locked from us until further notice (no ETA on the migration) which is, as you might imagine frustrating both for the core developers but hundreds of plugin developers that make Hudson the best damned CI server on...

In tradition of taking advantages of my travel, Tikal, ExLibris, and InfraDNA hosted a Hudson users meetup in Jerusalem yesterday. There were 10+ people from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv who came over, which was great given the lack of upfront advertisement (my fault.) I did a short presentation about the current state of the Hudson project and where we are focusing efforts on. Then we...

On the off chance you’ve not seen some of the photos posted to the @hudsonci Twitter stream, here’s some of the photos from day two of JavaOne.</param> </param> </param></embed>...

For the uninitiated, "OTN" is short for the "Oracle Technology Network" where speakers and other persons of interest sit in front of cameras and their words are streamed live to the internets. After his session yesterday, Kohsuke hustled over to OTN headquarters, which look suspiciously like a tent in the middle of Mason St., and gave the following interview/chat.</embed>...

Editor’s Note: This is a very rough set of notes from John Ferguson Smart’s presentation at JavaOne 2010. Unlike Kohsuke’s presentation, John spent a lot of time in demos which made live-blogging a bit difficult.image:https://farm5.static.flickr.com/4129/5012383102_cf258075a6.jpg John takes the stage at 9:30, this presentation is totally different from yesterday’s presentation from Kohsuke Taking Hudson a little further, beyond just scheduling a build job. Who is not using Hudson,...

Some of you may have been following all the photos posted to the hudsonlabs Flickr account from this year’s JavaOne conference in San Francisco. Alan O’Leary responded to this photo with one of the funniest comments of the day: "Java and Oracle - 'In Opposite Directions'"...

Yesterday Digg was kind enough to host and "sponsor" (read: free drinks and pizza!) a Hudson meetup at their offices in San Francisco. While Digg has been the source of some controversy and press due to their recent redesign and corporate shake-ups, as far as the Hudson community goes they’ve been largely responsible for a great case study on continuous deployment using Hudson and Gerrit.image:https://farm5.static.flickr.com/4130/5005123971_403f24733d.jpg Attendees included all of...

Editor’s note: This is a very rough set of notes from Kohsuke Kawaguchi’s presentation at JavaOne 2010. Kohsuke takes the stage, asks "who uses’s Hudson" the majority of audience raises their hands Discussing the great ecosystem using Hudson across the wide-variety of platforms/languages. 330+ community written plugins. Last year at JavaOne we had 230+ plugins Eclipse Community Survey, Hudson adoption from 9.1% in 2009 to 21.8% Discussing Hudson adoption, going...

Last night on my way out of San Francisco I stopped by 4th and Howard St to get my first taste of JavaOne/Oracle OpenWorld which was already taking shape at the location. Besides snapping the photo below, I also managed to get yelled out by an old woman wearing a red "security" jacket; suffice to say my JavaOne experience is already everything I expected!image:https://farm5.static.flickr.com/4107/4997929716_1675745efe.jpg Unlike...
