"> Our earlier appeal for donation was a drastic boost to our fund-raising drive, (and looking at the twitter reactions, it feels like the Wikipedia parody we put on Jenkins on Jenkins helped spread the words — I guess jokes do work! And I’m happy to report that we’ve successfully raised over $12000 as of today. That’s more than enough to pay off all the current...

As we approach the holiday season, which is when people start to feel more charitable, at least in the U.S. So I’d like to make one more plea, that the Jenkins project needs your help in paying its expense, and that we are still about $1000 shy of the goal we need to get to. So if you can, please help us by donating...

In 1.430, we added the translation assistance plugin in the hope of increasing the contribution from the community. It’s been 3 months, and I’ve finally took the opportunity to integrate them into Jenkins. The result is pretty amazing. Before this, we had 26 languages, with wildly varying degree of completeness, such as French, Japanese, German, etc. This is still pretty good, but this integration added...

It’s not often that I get to use that much hyperbole in a Jenkins blog post, but I think in this case it’s allowable. A journey that started over a year ago by Charles Lowell has reached a new level, thanks to lots of help from Kohsuke along with Hiroshi Nakamura and Jørgen Tjernø. As of today, with Jenkins 1.438, you can now download and...

It is just turning into a video heavy week isn’t it? First the videos from the Munich Meetup were made available, and now the videos from the first ever Jenkins User Conference. The full list of slides and videos can be found on this page, hosted by CloudBees who did a phenomenal job helping to organize and host the conference. I want to thank everybody...

Better late than never right? Back in June, during his world tour, Andrew Bayer stopped by Munich to participate in a Jenkins Meetup along with Dr. Ullrich Hafner. Andrew gave a talk titled "The State of Jenkins" (slides) and Ullrich talked about "Static Code Analysis with Jenkins" (slides) You can view the videos on this page hosted by TNG. Thanks to Stefan Wolf for the heads up!...

As if getting a Kindle for reporting bugs and getting an AppleTV for filing a survey aren’t enough, you can also win an iPad for fixing an issue. So if you’ve been thinking about tinkering with Jenkins code base but haven’t done so yet, this is a great opportunity to get going. There’s documentation about how to get started, and there’s Jenkins Office Hours and...

+ 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 well. In the same spirit of the fundraising drive in...
