Official Jenkins LTS docker image

(This is a guest post from Michael Neale) Recently at the Docker Conference (DockerCon) the Docker Hub was announced. The hub (which includes their image building and storage service) also provides some "official" images (sometimes they call them repositories - they are really just sets of images).

Jenkins figure is available in shapeways

Some time ago, we’ve built Jenkins bobble head figures. This was such a huge hit that everywhere I go, I get asked about them. The only problem was that it cannot be individually ordered, and we didn’t have enough cycles to individually sell and ship them for those who wanted them.

JUC Israel report

This year marks the 3rd annual Jenkins User Conference in Israel. While the timing of the event turned out to be less than ideal for reasons beyond our control, that didn’t stop 400 Jenkins users from showing up at the "explosive" event at a seaside hotel near Tel Aviv. Shlomi Ben-Haim kicked off the conference by reporting that JUC Israel just...
