3. 2004 SummerI broke one too many buildsWouldn’t it be nice if …?

4. And so it beganbuild.shmonitor.shRun from cron#!/bin/bash -exexec 2>&1cd /files/jaxb-ricvs updateant#!/bin/bash -exbuild.sh > build.log || mail …

5. Then I wrote my version

6. By 1.15 (Feb ‘06)

7. The culture was established early onWeekly release cyclesExtensibility via pluginLower barrier to entryBackward compatibility mattersAnd then we just kept on keeping on

11. Usage All Around the World

12. 2011 Jan: DivorceOracle: “you do it our way or highway”Community chose highway: 214 to 14That’s when we became Jenkins

13. 8 months have passed.

14. Where are we now?

15. More Transparent/FormalGovernance

16. Legal EntityJenkins now affiliated with Software in the Public Interest (SPI)NPO to promote free and open softwareJoined the likes of Debian, Drupal, PostgreSQLEnables us to enter into contract, own assets, and live longer than individuals

17. Fundraising DriveThrough SPI, so tax deductiblejenkins-ci.org/donateRaising $5130 (the bandwidth overage during summer)Broad donation base is good for the project, so your help would be appreciated

20. Governance DocumentToday, we announce that we adopted an official governance documentOur implicit modus operandi, made explicithttps://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Governance+Document

21. Governance DocumentClarifies how we workShould make onboarding easierLicense policiesProject rolesName usageCheck list forpull requests

22. Contributor License AgreementAs a part of governance document, the project approved of collecting CLA for coreBased on CLA used by ApacheFurther clarifies the rights associated with contributionsProtect users and projects from potential legal disputes

24. Diversity is good for projectWe rely on diverse entities to run jenkins-ci.orgThanks to

25. Server donationcucumber.jenkins-ci.orgRuns jenkins-ci.org and other critical infrastructure servicesPurchased by Tyler, Andrew, and myself$2000 worth of the equipmentToday we announce that we are donating this to SPI

26. Our mirrors around the worldThanks!7 mirrors around the worldNurnberg, GermanyYokohama, JapanSalt Lake City, UtahTaipei, TaiwanMadison, Wisconsin

27. More Open InfrastructureFor longest time, infra work was behind the closed doorWe can’t just hand out system access to everyoneBut now Tyler is pushing Puppet to workhttp://github.com/jenkinsci/infra-puppet“Open-sourcing” server setupSend in pull requests to make changes# of trusted admins is less of a bottleneck

28. ReleasesMain line continues weekly releasesWith same emphasis to compatibility“Peter created his plugin against Hudson 1.129 … got it running on Jenkins 1.397 without recompiling”--- Stephen Connolly

29.

30. Long-Term Support ReleasesMain release linePick good main releaseLTS release lineSep 20111.409.2Backport proven fixes from main releasesJune 20111.409.1

31. LTS Gets Extra Testing & Eyeballs

32. LTS - Even Hudson user likes it!“Jenkins has introduced a Long Term Support release, with less new features but more stability. Copying Jenkins is maybe politically complicated, but it could be a good way to smooth the transition.”--- in Hudson users list

33. Jenkins is now in Ubuntu

34. 5 more native packagesMac OS X and Solaris, especiallynew

48. Update Center Hits/wkCounted UC data retrievalHudson Labs is where we used to run UCShowing very rapid conversion to Jenkins90% at this pointCumulative stack area chartY: # of successful GET reqs

49. Anonymous Usage StatisticsBased on anonymous usage data collectionOne-off instances are filtered out~75% conversion from legacy to JenkinsAdoption regaining momentumCumulative stack area chartY: # of unique installation IDs

50. Ticket activity: Jenkins vs HudsonCounting # of filed ticketsEclipse move isn’t making any dentsAbout 2300 vs 300 new tickets since split

60. Core ImprovementsMoving Core Java features into pluginsDone: Ant, javadocMaven, JUnitMore flexibility in Maven pluginsAdding build steps before/after

61. What I’d like to work onEasier test parallelizationBy taking advantages of slavesDistributed execution assistanceUse Jenkins slaves as general-purpose computing gridAdding new plugins without restart

62. Other Cool ProjectsJekins plugin development in RubyMore about this from Charles laterRunning slave agents on Android

63. ConclusionsLots of progresses, in terms ofGovernanceAdoptionCompetitionEcosystemAnd lots more progress to comeEnjoy the rest of the day!
