I’m going to visit Sao Paulo once again this weekend to attend the second annual Jenkins users meet-up. It’s a whole day free event Saturday full of Jenkins goodness. You’ll hear from a number of active Jenkins folks, and I’ll be presenting about what CloudBees (where I currently work) has contributed to the Jenkins project, including recent new OSS plugins and some services. I’m also...

It’s been a month now, but I realized that I’ve never posted a wrap-up post of JUC 2013. So in the spirit of "better later than, never", here it goes.

It was originally this way, then changed to jenkinsci-no-reply@googlegroups.com when someone complained (on what ground...

+ The day after Jenkins User Conference, we held a smaller meet-up of serious large-scale Jenkins users dubbed as "Jenkins Scalability Summit". In this Open Space Technology style event, we went over war stories from users. Just to show the degree of seriousness, some of those people run 1500+ agents, and others run Jenkins in HA configuration with a data center fail over! We then picked...

(This is a guest post from Owen B. Mehegan aka autojack) The Jenkins User Conference - Palo Alto is coming up on October 23rd!
