우리는 2013년 1월25일 저녁에 Jenkins meet-up을 삼성전자와 함께 준비하고 있습니다. Meet-up은 서초사옥에서 진행될 예정이며 추후 변경될 수 있습니다. 발표자는 일본 커뮤니티에서 활동중인 Cactuman과 삼성이고 Groovy script를 이용한 job 일괄설정 에 대해서 발표할 예정입니다.

Jenkins를 설치한 통계를 통해 저희도 한국에 많은 사용자가 있다는것을 알고 있었습니다. 지금까지는 메인 Jenkins community에서 컨택하는데 실패했었지만 이번에 그런 상황이 해결된것에 너무 흥분됩니다.

이번 meet-up에 참가할 의사가 있으면 meetup.com 에 회답해 주시면 됩니다. 참가비는 없으며 우리는 Jenkins,plugin 들과 함께한 경험들(간단한 주제를 포함)을 한국의 Jenkins user와 공유 할 더 많은 발표자를 찾고 있습니다.

여러분의 많은 참가를 기대합니다.

We are organizing a Jenkins meet-up in Seoul in the evening of Jan 25th 2013, thanks to the help of folks at Samsung. The meeting will be in the evening, at the location to be determined. I am presenting in person, as well as Cactusman, one of the key community people in Japan. Seung-Heui Jang from Samsung would be presenting about job batch processing by Groovy scripts.

According to the installation statistics, we know there are significant user base in Korea, but so far the main Jenkins community has failed to establish contacts with them.

Earlier this year we participated in FOSDEM 2012 in Brussels, Belgium. Overall the event was a major success and we're very happy we were able to take part in it!

For FOSDEM 2013, we'll be back in Brussels and participating in a major way. The first day of FOSDEM (February 2, 2013) will be the 2nd birthday for the Jenkins project, and seems appropriate that project founder Kohsuke Kawaguchi will be giving a keynote session titled: "How we made the Jenkins community"

Here's an excerpt from Kohsuke's talk proposal:

Jenkins project has an interesting history. It started from scratch on my spare time, and grow over time to boast 600+ open-source plugins developed by 300+ contributors from all around the world.

There are several key ingredients, both technical and social, that enabled this model, and I think those ingredients are useful to other projects. In this talk, I'll discuss how Jenkins project and the community works, what these ingredients are, why they help you attract more developers into your projects, and why it matters.

You can read more about Kohsuke's keynote here

In addition to the keynote, I (R. Tyler Croy), and a number of members of the Jenkins, Cucumber and Selenium communities are hosting the first ever Testing and Automation devroom at FOSDEM.

If you're interested in submitting a talk proposal for the dev room the deadline is 23:59 UTC on December 21st 2012! The Call for Proposals can be found here, and the proposal submission form can can be found here.

We are very likely going to have a table in the hall again this year, but the FOSDEM committee hasn't yet confirmed whether or not we will have a table.

Regardless, a lot of Jenkins community members will be at FOSDEM in February in addition to hundreds of other open source contributors and users from around the world.

If you're interested in participating and/or meeting up with the Jenkins crowd, there's details coming together on the FOSDEM wiki page.

We hope to see you there!

O Jenkins, servidor de integração favorito de todos, é muito utilizado no Brasil, e agora tem uma lista de e-mails em Português além do primeiro encontro de usuários Jenkins no Brasil. Se você utiliza o Jenkins, desenvolve plug-ins, tem interesse em aprender mais sobre esta incrível ferramenta Open Source e sobre Integração Contínua, essa é a sua chance!

Além de matar dúvidas sobre o Jenkins e aprender com os outros participantes, há várias outras atividades na comunidade como a tradução de documentação, tutoriais e livros, bem como a divulgação de eventos e treinamentos.

Gostei! Como participo?

Você pode começar se inscrevendo na lista de e-mails de usuários do Jenkins em Português (jenkinsci-br). Lá você poderá enviar suas perguntas, bem como ajudar outros usuários com dúvidas sobre o Jenkins ou plug-ins. Se você utiliza o Twitter, os anúncios e links serão disponibilizados no @jenkins_br.

Encontro de usuários Jenkins do Brasil 2012

O primeiro encontro de usuários Jenkins do Brasil acontecerá no próximo dia 1 de Dezembro de 2012. O evento é gratuito e acontecerá na USP, em São Paulo. Lá você poderá acompanhar palestras, lighting talks, conversar com outros profissionais e também terá a oportunidade de conhecer pessoalmente Kohsuke Kawaguchi, outros usuários e desenvolvedores de plug-ins do Jenkins.

Confirme já sua presença no encontro de usuários Jenkins do Brasil 2012! Apesar de gratuito temos lugares limitados e precisamos estimar o número de participantes para brindes, bebidas e para acomodar bem todos os participantes.

Esperamos você lá! :-)

As per the discussion in the project meeting today, we created a new mailing list events@lists.jenkins-ci.org for:

• discussing and coordinating Jenkins related events
• share knowledge between different local communities
• helping new organizers by having existing community people offering advices
• improving visibility and transparency of event organization work

If you are interested in facilitating local communities (being from Japan, I know for a fact that a local community that speaks the native language makes a big difference in many parts of the world!)

The list is open for anyone to join and the archive is public. Looking forward to seeing you in the list.

We are trying to raise $2000 travel grants for assisting Jenkins contributors to travel, meet, and strengthen their relationships with the other Jenkins contributors. Specifically, we have FOSDEM and SCALE11x in mind, in which there already are a fair amount of Jenkins contributors concentration.

Being an open-source project, Jenkins developers are highly dispersed, yet a lot gets done in the community through human relationships, just like any other organizations. This poses a challenge, because most of the contributors work on Jenkins on their spare times, and so people are on their own to travel to the shows, creating greater divides between those of us in the U.S., Europe, and in Asia.

This fundraising is a bit of experiment to see if it's worth the money. The goal is to sponsor two people who don't work on Jenkins full time to travel to those events (and hopefully present talks, although that's subject to the acceptance by conferences.) We'll also report back what came out of them.
