This is a guest post by Jenkins World speaker Andrew Bayer, Jenkins developer at CloudBees. Over the last couple years, Pipeline as code has very much become the future of Jenkins - in fact, at this point, I’d say it’s pretty well established as the present of Jenkins. But that doesn’t mean it’s done, let alone that it’s perfect. While many developers enjoy the power and control that they...

At previous Jenkins User Conferences we have hosted "Contributor Summits" to gather developers and power-users in one room to discuss specific areas of Jenkins, such as Scalability, Pipeline, etc. As part of this year’s Jenkins World we’re hosting another Contributor Summit, to discuss: Blue Ocean, Pipeline and Storage Pluggability. Contributors to these three areas of the Jenkins ecosystem will be in attendance to present details of their design, requirements, and tentative roadmaps. After...

This is a guest post by R. Tyler Croy, who is a long-time contributor to Jenkins and the primary contact for Jenkins project infrastructure. He is also a Jenkins Evangelist at CloudBees, Inc. I find the topic of "scaling Jenkins" to be incredibly interesting because, more often than not, scaling Jenkins isn’t just about scaling a single instance but rather scaling an organization and its continuous delivery processes. In many cases...

This is a guest post by Jenkins World speaker David Hinske, Release Engineer at Goodgame Studios. Hey there, my name is David Hinske and I work at Goodgame Studios (GGS), a game development company in Hamburg, Germany. As Release Engineer in a company with several development teams, it comes in handy using several Jenkins instances. While this approach works fine in our company and gives the developers a lot...

Our events officer Alyssa has been working for the past several weeks to organize the "Open Source Hub" at Jenkins World 2016. The Hub is a location on the expo floor where contributors to the Jenkins project can hang out, share demos and help Jenkins users via the "Ask the Experts" program. Thus far we have a great list of experts who have volunteered to help staff the booth, which...

At Jenkins World 2016 on September 14-15, stop by the "Open Source Hub", located in the Partner Expo hall at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA. The Open Source Hub will have many Jenkins contributors, committers, JAM leaders, and officers from the governance board under one roof, so there will be plenty of knowledge and talents on hand to share. We hope you’ll join in on the...

This is a guest post by Jenkins World speaker Neil Hunt, Senior DevOps Architect at Aquilent. In smaller companies with a handful of apps and fewer silos, implementing CD pipelines to support these apps is fairly straightforward using one of the many delivery orchestration tools available today. There is likely a constrained tool set to support - not an abundance of flavors of applications and security practices - and...

This is a guest post by Ben Patterson, Engineering Manager at edX. Picking a pear from a basket is straightforward when you can hold it in your hand, feel its weight, perhaps give a gentle squeeze, observe its color and look more closely at any bruises. If the only information we had was a photograph from one angle, we’d have to do some educated guessing. As...

It will be one big party for everything Jenkins, from users to developers, from the community to vendors. There will be more of what people always loved in past user conferences, such as technical sessions from users and developers, the Ask the Experts booth and plugin development...
