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...

(This was sent as an email to the Hudson dev and users mailing lists after voting concluded, but I thought it’d be good to post it here as well.) The vote is closed, and the results are in. More than half of the total votes were from ineligible voters, but the result would have been the same either way. The final result of all eligible...

First, my apologies for the lack of updates on the Hudson/Oracle situation for the last few weeks. While talks have been ongoing, the holidays have slowed things down, and we didn’t want to send out information that would later turn out not to be true. We’ve been waiting for the talks to reach a resolution - and I believe they now have. Since the java.net migration problems, Oracle and...

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...

[Ed. note Andrew was not involved in selecting this post’s title - rtyler] I wanted to give the Hudson community a quick update on the current status of the issues Tyler has discussed in the earlier posts here. Friday afternoon, Kohsuke, CloudBees CEO Sacha Labourey and myself jumped on a conference call with Hudson contributor/Oracle employee Winston Prakash, Oracle manager Denis Tyrell and of course Ted...

Last time I talked about HudsonMobi 2.0 there were some hiccups with the QR code which made me pretty irritated. Now the leading mobile app for Hudson users has regained my trust with their latest release for iOS 4, the latest incarnation of Apple’s mobile operating systems for iPhones and iPod Touches. Since I fall into the category of subhumans who for one reason or...

On September 1st, I’ll be presenting in a Sauce Labs webinar about Hudson and Sauce OnDemand. The talk will discuss how Hudson can be used with Sauce OnDemand, naturally, but it’ll also cover broader Hudson/Selenium integrations. Please register to this free event, and looking forward to seeing to you virtually....

In late 2008, the Hudson team released version 1.264 which added an anonymous reporting feature (you can opt-out in the "Manage Hudson" screen). The reporting feature has been sending information back to the Hudson team to help us understand how Hudson is used in aggregate; the info being reported includes the number of jobs configured, agent configurations, what plugins (and what versions of those...

Last Friday the Hudson team rolled out a small 1.372 with two enhancements following the critical 1.371 release on Monday. Not a whole lot to say about this release other than go get it! Enhancements Persist matrix-based security settings in a consistent order (issue 7138) Jobs can now use boolean expression over labels to control where they run. You can go grab the latest .war file straight from...

The folks over at LMT Software just released their HudsonMobi 2.0 to the Android market. This release of HudsonMobi brings a lot of the features to Android that iPhone/iPad users of HudsonMobi have enjoyed for some time. Features unleashed to Android users in this revision of the app are: Full Android user-experience with Menu and back controls Embedded artifact viewer! For archived build artifacts that are text-based,...
