After an amazing three months of development period in the summer of 2019 with Jenkins Project, I was a better developer, loved open source, met passionate people and had fun at work. Jenkins is not just a community, it is a family. When GSoC period was over, we received swags from Jenkins. Natasha Stopa (one of the students in GSoC 2019) was invited to attend DevOps...
I had the privilege of being invited to DevOps World | Jenkins World 2019 for presenting the work I did during Google Summer of Code 2019. What follows is a day-by-day summary of an amazing trip to the conference. Day 0: December 1, 2019 I am an undergraduate student from New Delhi, India and had traveled to Lisbon to attend the conference. I had an early morning flight to Lisbon from...
I am happy to report that JEP-222 has landed in Jenkins weeklies, starting in 2.217. This improvement brings experimental WebSocket support to Jenkins, available when connecting inbound agents or when running the CLI.

We would like to start by thanking all participants: students, mentors, subject matter experts and all other contributors...
2020 is going to be a year of change for me. By the end of January, I’ll be officially stepping back from Jenkins, switching my role at CloudBees to an advisor, and turning attention to my new startup. The rest of this post is to contextualize this transition, because if you haven’t been working closely with me, this might come across as a surprise. Jenkins has been an amazing...

We know that for many of our customers Jenkins is incredibly important and its integration with Bitbucket Server is a key part of their development workflow. Unfortunately, we also know that integrating Bitbucket Server with Jenkins wasn’t always easy – it may have required multiple plugins and considerable time. That’s why earlier this year we set out to change this. We began building our own integration, and...
