Recently, Jenkins Interim Governance Board member and core contributor, Andrew Bayer sat down with Tim O'Brien to discuss the Jenkins project.

A few months ago I enjoyed running a couple interviews with folks who were using Hudson but lately I've lacked the time and coffee to get more interviews done.

I am planning on making up for it by bringing my fancy smancy tape recorder (i.e. a smartphone) and a few notepads to the upcoming JavaOne conference here in San Francisco.

If you're interested in talking to me about how you or your company uses Hudson in your quest for world domination, you will be able to find me at the Hudson hackathon on Sunday the 19th, or at JavaOne on Monday, Tuesday and maybe Wednesday.

Feel free to drop me a line at tyler[at]linux.com and we'll set something up!

A few weeks ago, Kohsuke stopped by the San Francisco Selenium Meetup hosted by Sauce Labs to talk about all things Selenium and Hudson related (with a bit of Sauce in there too).

The good folks over at Sauce Labs have gotten around to posting some of the videos taken with Kohsuke.

Instead of embed the videos, I wanted to directly link to the post and make sure that you all went over to check out Sauce Labs, they're up to some interesting things over there.

For this week's user spotlight segment, I'm talking with Doug MacEachern of Hyperic, part of SpringSource, a division of VMware, hoping I got that dependency chain correct. Hyperic builds enterprise systems monitoring and management software and also contributes to a number of open source projects, many of which are built with Hudson.

To date I must say that Doug's use of Hudson is one of the largest and more impressive installations I've seen. I don't want to spoil the interview, but they're testing on platforms that don't even run Java. Madness! If you think you can out-do him, you can find my email information at the bottom of the interview, I'd love to hear about it!

Without further ado, Doug from SpringSource.

For this week's user spotlight, I'm talking to Rasheed Abdul-Aziz of VisFleet Ltd. out of New Zealand. This being our second "spotlight" on a particular company, the format can still be considered beta; if you have any additional questions for Rasheed, feel free to ask them in the comments and I'll try to get Rasheed to answer.

Similar to the spotlight on ITA Software from last week, VisFleet builds business software helping their customers operate their businesses more effectively through web applications in tandem with mobile applications. While I could endlessly discuss the power and flexibility of Hudson, particularly for building web software, I'll let Rasheed do the majority of the talking, so let's get to it.
