• User Interface Refresh

  This is a guest post from Tom Fennelly Over the last number of weeks we’ve been trying to "refresh" the Jenkins UI, modernizing the look and feel a bit. This has been a real community effort, with collaboration from lots of people, both in terms of implementation and in terms of providing honest/critical feedback.

• Geek Choice Awards 2014

  RebelLabs started annual Geek Choice Awards, and Jenkins was one of the 10 winners. See the page they talk about Jenkins. My favorite part is, to quote, "Jenkins has an almost laughably dominant position in the CI server segment", and "With 70% of the CI market on lockdown and showing an increasing rate of plugin development, Jenkins is undoubtably the most...

Shlomi Ben-Haim kicked off the conference by reporting that JUC Israel just...

The recording goes over how to implement the Step extension point, which is the workflow equivalent of BuildStep extension point.

• Pictures from JUC and cdSummit

  I’ve uploaded pictures I’ve taken during JUC Boston and JUC Berlin. JUC Berlin pictures starts with pre-conference beer garden meet-up. See Vincent Latombe gives a talk about Literate plugin.

• JUC Berlin summary

  After a very successful JUC Boston we headed over to Berlin for JUC Berlin. I’ve heard the attendance number was comparable to that of JUC Boston, with close to 400 people registered and 350+ people who came. The event kicked off at a pre-conference beer garden meetup, except it turned out that the venue was closed on that day and we...
