As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, there’s been a lot of discussion recently about what "https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+2.0[Jenkins 2.0]" means. In a recent "Office Hours" session, Kohsuke Kawaguchi presented his vision for Jenkins 2.0 in a office hours session, the slides for which can be found in this Google Presentation. Roughly paraphrasing Kohsuke’s vision, 2.0 is primarily about making things better for the thousands of users out there. This week, we’ll be reviewing some...

Over the past few weeks there has been a vibrant discussion happening on the jenkinsci-dev@ mailing list as to what "https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+2.0[Jenkins 2.0]" means.

Project founder, Kohsuke Kawaguchi presented his vision for Jenkins 2.0 in a office hours session, the slides for which can be found in this...

Over 2,000 members of the Docker community attended Docker Hack Day events around the world. One of the forty-two Docker Hacks has some familiar names attached…​ Nicolas De Loof and Yoann Dubreuil from Docker Rennes, who are also active in our community, waved the Jenkins flag in this event and produced Jenkins docker agents plugin.

I hope many of you have had a chance to see the Jenkins 2.0 thread. I’m going to use the office hours next Wednesday to go through this proposal. This is still primarily for developers in the project, as it’s "just" a proposal with lots of details unspecified. It’s more meant to help people understand where I’m coming from and what goals I have in mind...

Last week, the first Jenkins Area Meetup (JAM) took place in San Jose, CA on Wednesday, Sept 23. What a way to kick off the first JAM other than to have Docker, John Willis as our guest speaker.
