Jenkins at FOSDEM 2014

FOSDEM is probably the biggest open-source developers' conference in Europe. This year will be the 3rd year for us to be present in FOSDEM. There will be a bunch of community people, handing out flyers and stickers, showing Jenkins, and generally be available to talk to people!

DKIM and SPF deployed

In the hope of streamlining account creation e-mail delivery and mailing list moderations, I have deployed SPF and DKIM over the weekend for e-mails coming out of @jenkins-ci.org, which includes account applications, Confluence, and JIRA. I’ve also used this opportunity to switch back the sender of JIRA notifications to noreply@jenkins-ci.org. It was originally this way, then changed to jenkinsci-no-reply@googlegroups.com when someone...

Jenkins Scalability Summit Recap

+ + The day after Jenkins User Conference, we held a smaller meet-up of serious large-scale Jenkins users dubbed as "Jenkins Scalability Summit".
