The Jenkins project has learned that a company is trying to register "Jenkins" as a trademark in Colombia. This is alarming for us, and we are trying to oppose it. In order to do this effectively, we need to hear from Colombian users of Jenkins. Figure 1. South American visitors to jenkins.io for 2017 The Jenkins project owns a trademark "Jenkins" in the U.S., through a...

A bug was introduced in Jenkins versions 1.645 and 1.642.2 which caused Jenkins to send anonymous usage statistics, even if the administrator opted-out of reporting usage data in the Jenkins web UI. If you are running one of the affected versions, the best/easiest solution is to upgrade. The bug does not affect Jenkins 1.653 or newer, or Jenkins LTS 1.642.4 or newer. If you cannot upgrade, it is possible to immediately disable...

On December 15, the Toulouse JAM was co-hosted with the Toulouse JUG and Toulouse DevOps. Indeed it made sense since Jenkins is written in Java, makes use of Groovy code in many places (system groovy script, job dsl, workflow…), and it also made sense to co-organize with the local DevOps community since Jenkins is also a great tool to enable Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery and automation in general. There were 103 RSVPs, with...

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we're planning a "Contributor Summit" on February 1st, after FOSDEM 2016 (January 30th/31st), to focus on Jenkins 2.0. Since many of us are already planning, the Monday following the event turned out to be the ideal time to discuss 2.0. Note: If you're not already familiar with some of the key proposals that were put forth, you can review...
