I’ll be flying to Sao Paulo this week to attend Jenkins meet-up (Saturday) and JavaOne Latin America (next Tuesday and onward). The last time I visited Brazil was a few years ago, but thanks to Mauricio Leal, whom I tagged around with for a JUG tour around Brazil, it was really a blast. This time…

POTD: iOS device detection in Jenkins
I was talking to my colleague Mark Prichard about mobile development with Jenkins, and I came up with this idea. If you are doing iOS app testing with real devices, you need to tether the device with a computer so that you can push the app-to-be-tested to the device. In a local development environment, you’d…
The Butler’s Service: Promotion for Jenkins User Conference in Paris
We have just increased our enrollment capacity for the Jenkins User Conference (JUC) Paris, to be held on April 17th. The enthusiastic response to our first-ever Paris JUC has been terrific – and we want to get everyone there! The learning, networking and connecting that occurs within the Jenkins community at JUC is great to…
Come join us on “Selenium, Jenkins, Robots, Oh My!” tomorrow
I’ll be speaking tomorrow at San Francisco Selenium Meetup about Jenkins & Selenium — mainly recent improvements in the Selenium plugin, as well as several other new plugins relevant in the combination of Jenkins and Selenium, complete with a demo. I’ve got a couple of pet-peeves against the Selenium project, so I’m going to pitch…
Writing programs that drive Jenkins
One of the interesting discussions during SCALE 10x was about using Jenkins as a piece of a bigger software. This person was interested in using Jenkins to run some business analysis operations, and wanted to have a separate interface for business oriented people. This is actually an emerging but common theme I hear from many…
Upcoming San Francisco training
CloudBees will be hosting another training in San Francisco Bay Area in January 26, 2012, and Feburary 23rd in Tokyo. This 1-day training starts with the basics and then covers some of the advanced techniques, especially in combination with some plugins. As we deliver this training more, we gradually adjusted the material to cover more…
Webinar: Jenkins Enterprise by CloudBees
On Janurary 10th, I’ll be doing a webinar about Jenkins Enterprise by CloudBees (formerly known as Nectar, which we renamed with the permission of the community.) Jenkins Enterprise is Jenkins LTS + a number of CloudBees’ value-add plugins that help large and serious users, with the support. This release contains a number of new plugins,…
Polling must die: triggering Jenkins builds from a git hook
As I keep saying, polling a repository from Jenkins is inefficient; it adds delay on the order of minutes before a build starts after a commit is pushed, and it adds additional loads. It is much better instead to do push-notification from the repository. In this post, I’m going to explain how to do this…
Introducing template plugin
The Nectar 11.10 release that we just made has the template plugin, which I think is one of the very useful plugins that we added to Nectar that’s not available in open-source Jenkins. So I wanted to talk about it a bit. Many serious Jenkins users have had this common problem that they’ve got a…
Jenkins Community Survey
There’s currently a survey running to get a better sense of our use base. Those inputs help us steer the effort wisely, so we appreciate your taking time to fill it in. The result would be more useful if larger number of people participate, so feel free to encourage others to fill it in as…
Jenkins HackCamp at Tokyo
Right after JavaOne, I traveled to Tokyo, and attended a 3-day hack camp. The Jenkins community had done several 1-day hackathon around the world, but this is the first that spanned across multiple days. 14 people came to a small traditional hotel in this small sea-side city of Ito, a 90 minutes train ride away…
My take on Jenkins User Conference
Last week, we had our first ever Jenkins User Conference. More than 30 talks have been proposed (of which we were only able to accomodate 10 or so), 7 companies had helped pay for the event, and more than 250 people attended (out of 400 people registered.) People came from all over the world, from…
