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...

(This is a guest post from Gareth Bowles, a Senior Software Engineer at Netflix.) Jenkins has been a central part of the Netflix build and deploy infrastructure for several years now, and we’ve been attending and speaking at JUC since it started in 2011. It’s a great opportunity to meet people who are as passionate about build, test and deployment automation as we are -...

This is a guest post by Mike Rowan, VP R&D at SendGrid. Q: Tell us a bit about what your service and plugin do. Who is it for? What are the highlights of your plugin?

The folks at Rebel Labs picked Jenkins as the last installation of their technical report series. It is a beautifully crafted 50 page PDF that covers the overview of the technology. You get to see a bit of details about how ZeroTurnaround uses Jenkins, and it contains a section where I get interviewed by them. Also, while they failed to mention this in the document,...

Recently, Jenkins Interim Governance Board member and core contributor, Andrew Bayer sat down with Tim O’Brien to discuss the Jenkins project. You can watch the video on YouTube or via the embed below....

A few months ago I enjoyed running a couple interviews with folks who were using Hudson but lately I’ve lacked the time and coffee to get more interviews done. I am planning on making up for it by bringing my fancy smancy tape recorder (i.e. a smartphone) and a few notepads to the upcoming JavaOne conference here in San Francisco. If you’re interested in talking...

A few weeks ago, Kohsuke stopped by the San Francisco Selenium Meetup hosted by Sauce Labs to talk about all things Selenium and Hudson related (with a bit of Sauce in there too). The good folks over at Sauce Labs have gotten around to posting some of the videos taken with Kohsuke. Instead of embed the videos, I wanted to directly link to the post and...

For this week’s user spotlight segment, I’m talking with Doug MacEachern of Hyperic, part of SpringSource, a division of VMware, hoping I got that dependency chain correct. Hyperic builds enterprise systems monitoring and management software and also contributes to a number of open source projects, many of which are built with Hudson. To date I must say that Doug’s use of Hudson is one of...

For this week’s user spotlight, I’m talking to Rasheed Abdul-Aziz of VisFleet Ltd. out of New Zealand. This being our second "spotlight" on a particular company, the format can still be considered beta; if you have any additional questions for Rasheed, feel free to ask them in the comments and I’ll try to get Rasheed to answer. Similar to the spotlight on ITA Software from last...

For the first "User Spotlight" interview ever on Continuous Blog, I am talking with Matt Girard of ITA Software, a Boston-based software company that produces travel industry software which is used by many of the major carriers in the U.S. and abroad. When I sent out a message asking for users of Hudson in the corporate space to ping me about doing a "spotlight" on...
