Contributor Summit

A

Hi all uh today is october 9th and we have the second part of the jinx contributor summit. So the today's plan is to have a short session of project updates and then maybe take a look at the roadmap together and then have unconscious sessions uh focus on various topics. For example, we have sessions about jenkins and tipton integration, open eye, telemetry next steps, etc, etc.

A

It will be quite a relaxed event, but uh thanks a lot to everyone uh for joining. Hopefully we will have uh very productive uh technical discussions later today and for this particular session. I want to keep it really short, so maybe 15 to 20 minutes, and then we can just do unplanned uh unconference session to take a look at the roadmap stuff or maybe we could do live demos earlier.

B

A

So what is jinx contributor summit? It's our soon to be regular event where we discuss jenkins evolution, uh major updates, and uh this time we decided to do it in asian and pacific time zone so to have a better outreach, and uh this is the second part uh we had one contributor summit on june 25th and before that in february we experiment with different formats and schedules and yeah. Hopefully we will have another summit sometime around fosdem, so it will be february and stay tuned for that.

A

So the idea is just have informal discussions, so please be ready that many topics won't have slides at all and everyone is welcome to participate. So if you actually use jenkins, if you contribute particular projects, just unmute yourself and start talking, this particular session is handled in a zoom webinar, but all the next uh you'll be handled in zoom, so there will be less restrictions.

A

um So what's our schedule for today, unless there are some last minute proposals for sessions, um we start with short opening and then we'll have uh two sessions: infernal one for jenkins documentation without wiki jenkins io, because wiki jenkins io, is no longer a thing. We disabled it then, in parallel, we'll have a discussion about jenkins and open telemetry. What do we do about?

A

Having open telemetry, plugin and open telemetry for promoting how we continue the integrations and the second uh sort of third talk submitted by rick is about uh making jenkins a part of kubernetes. It's particularly focused on better integrations and on a cube sphere project.

A

So hopefully rick will join so that we can discuss it, and then we will have a short lightning talk session. Then we will have a break and later at 10 a.m. Utc uh there will be two hours session are focused on uh first class citizen, uh so unreferred only from the techno community, and maybe other contributors will be joining us. The idea there is to brainstorm potential integrations.

A

What would it cost and maybe start drafting the jab for that when at noon utc there will be discussion for jenkinsfeld runners so that everyone can share feedback and we can discuss roadmap and in parallel there will be hyper modern pipeline development, uh visual studio code by level, so this particular sessions we can adjust if needed, because I believe level wanted to participate in junk's file runner session and they completely messed it up.

A

So maybe we'll just move it a bit. If it makes sense that would be nice okay, then we will definitely adjust so jinx fell runner. So let's do it at 1 pm and then after party and 2, or something like that, okay, so for the next for meetings next parts we will be using zoom I'll share this link in the slide channel. So, yes, we have slack channel for this contributor summit.

A

Now it becomes more or less permanent one in the cdf slog. So if you're, a member of that that is drinks contributor, simon channel I'll, share the link later and yeah, there is link to a few zoom sessions for the discussions. We have communicating io, which is basically this course uh feel free to join and share your feedback here. um Well, basically, any feedback will be appreciated and also, if you want to start particular discussions, you can just start a new topic here.

A

B

C

Like that's also where they've registered to vote in the upcoming elections yeah, we will talk about that later.

A

Okay, okay, so just quick summary everyone can participate. uh Yes, I mean your questions. The comment in the chat uh you still can do lightning talk uh and yeah. Please be nice because yeah everyone contributes today saturday. So most likely everyone joining today joins on their spay time. uh Mark joins super late. Is it three a.m? Over again.

C

No, it's it's only one a.m. Oh yeah.

A

Sounds good but yeah thanks a lot for doing that and yeah again city of slug. If you want to join, there is a link on jenkins io, which describes how to get invitation, and if you are not a member of that, please join because for some items we'll be just posting links there.

A

A

A

Before we begin, uh I would like to ask all hosts of uh unconference sessions to record the video and then to publish it and, if possible, please organize some meeting notes so that we can share this information with those contributors who cannot participate because yeah today, saturday also european and the asian time zone so somewhere. Well, many people cannot attend.

A

Okay, let's do a quick state of the union, so it's basically built on collaborations from all officers and board members who had an opportunity to collaborate and if something is missing, please feel free to just jump in and discuss the topic and yeah. The first one which was already hinted by mark, is about elections.

A

We will have uh elections in november and currently there are open applications. So everyone is welcome to register and uh also to submit nominations. So we will be electing uh two board members, it's my seat and seat of willie hoffner. uh So there might be new contributors joining instead of us. They might be asked if we submit if we apply uh so but yeah. Everyone else is welcome to submit the missions and, as always, we will be electing all five officers.

A

So, security documentation release events and uh infrastructure, infrastructure right and yeah, for example, for events officer. This position is just open because mark jackson stepped down uh last february, and since that I was acting events officer and yeah. Definitely I kind of dedicate as much time as I would like to this role. So if somebody is interested to take it you're more than welcome to do so and well same for all other roles.

A

Okay, so if you want to participate this year, we use the new process. So basically you just need to submit to join election. Voter group on community links, io and yeah.

A

Currently we have 26 registrations and I'm pretty sure that some people at this meeting hasn't haven't registered yet so please do so.

A

C

Oleg's much too polite. I would shame you and say: if you haven't registered, you probably should, because there your attendance here is already contributing. So, yes, the definition of contribution is very broad and lots of ways that we contribute by helping each other by helping others.

A

Great uh okay, so kid it's october, 31st and the end of nominations. So by november 7th we should have candidates published and then there will be three weeks of voting and then the 30 results will be announced and will be effective. So the timeline is quite relaxed. But again, please submit your nominations and your current jenkins officer or board member and plan to note proceed. It would be nice if you reach out to the jenkins governor's board so that we can plan for transition.

A

Okay, anything else regarding the elections.

A

No, then, okay, roll updates, uh bro, most probably I missed someone. So please uh add changes so basil crawl has joined as new junk score maintainer and thanks a lot to basil for his contributions uh over the past years.

A

um It's much appreciated and yeah basil currently works on guava with it and a few big projects in the jenkins core, so stay tuned for the next releases. Also. I believe that I missed steven spielker, who is currently joined as pr reviewer.

B

C

Walls, uh so do we want to put my being given jep editor status and the jep improvement process steps that you're you're planning is that uh is that a reasonable one? I'm not sure. If that you can see yeah.

A

I think it's reasonable welcome aboard, though okay submitted the proposal that we basically make every officer and board member by default right.

C

Which I think I like that proposal as well: yeah, jenkins enhancement process, good thing.

B

A

So yeah uh any other updates via me, sunk.

C

None that I know of that that covers it. I think.

A

Okay, so then let's press it with uh quick updates for projects and six uh yeah, so maybe a few of these, which I didn't put slides for.

A

Firstly, we will be officially joining the inclusive naming initiative as continuous delivery foundation. So it's smaller settled.

A

Currently the blocker is quite hilarious uh because uh to I apply for membership, I need to provide email in the enrollment form and yeah gmail accounts are not accepted and I do not have any other right now so yeah I will figure it out, but yet you never know where you experience surprises. So what will happen? uh Yeah continuously foundation will open uh during this list. I will be the primary contact as toc member and yeah.

A

We will also be listed as a related project on this list, so cooperatives ibm junkies as well and yep. Everyone is welcome to keep contributing to this topic. um There are some plant marketing activities around it, so welcome to another foundation.

A

Okay, are there any other major updates uh missing.

C

Well, on inclusive naming for me, there's a reminder that plug-in maintainers should be sure they run their tests with jenkins versions 2.307 and later, because inclusive naming actually changes some testing environments. So so their inclusive naming is, is going to have real impacts and we should embrace it and be glad to have it.

A

Yet there is a lot of work to happen and actually, if we start following the recommendations of including naming, it will be a lot of work, because uh currently the terminology recommendations evolve.

A

So, for example, where it is your website like this.

A

Yeah, so there is a word list which is being formed by multiple contributions, so there is tier one and yeah tier one uh includes a worst abortion, then whitelist blacklist. We are working on master slave. We are working on and but yeah. So we will abort abortion if we follow these recommendations is something that we haven't discussed yet at all, and also there are other recommendations for tf2 tier 3. For example, all military returns needs to be replaced.

A

Some people propose to replace the executor because it's affiliated with executions, so we will need to have discussions uh what we do but yeah.

A

If we want to align with all the recommendations, it will be a long long workforce.

A

Okay, anything else.

C

Not that I know of.

A

Yeah, so it was quite silent this summer, um but yeah we can discuss a few other beats. Okay, jake's infrastructure. uh Do you have anyone who wants to yeah.

C

So I can talk to that briefly, like the the.

A

Next slide is the.

C

One, that's that's, got the something useful on it, so the we're working actively on sea id.jenkins.ios code. um Unfortunately, sometimes that means things are disrupted like at the moment where the windows can the windows agents can't find java. So sometimes we make mistakes, but our azure controller kubernetes agents on aws. Yes, we've got arm. Yes, we've got system 390, yes, we've got power, pc and we've got other suppliers coming. So it's it's evolving and developing next slide.

C

And we're we're actively working to reduce costs. We're proud that this month we changed what was a six or seven hundred dollar a month, server into a much much lower cost server uh hosted on oracle cloud thanks to oracle, for their donation and thanks to uh olivier bernin, for doing the work to make the transition, and we know we'll make future configurations to increase our cost savings. That's it for me.

A

So what else worth mentioning yeah? Currently there is ongoing immigration for documentations for wiki. I believe mark will speak about that during documentation, update and let me guess, that's it with regards to major infrastructure updates.

C

Yeah, the next slide shows the the infra meetings that uh aditya srivastava and others join with us, but it's it's just the usual stuff. There.

A

uh Yeah, so we also have some items on the road map. I believe, I'm not sure is our roadmap up to date.

C

I thought it was, but I I didn't do a detailed look at the at the road map with regard card infrastructure yesterday. You're certainly welcome to check, though.

C

It's under the about menu there, oh, like oh.

A

Yeah, well, I finally should at the redirect so here what do we have.

C

Yeah, so so continuous delivery of jenkins plugins is in progress. Ci.Jenkins.Io, as code is, is very much near term where we're working it yeah.

A

So what else funding one community bridge is basically life? We just need to announce it.

A

There are some other items which are not included, it's my fault, so, for example, lfx, easy, cla. Adoption is ready to go so I'll, probably enable it for engineering this file runner this weekend and we can uh discuss other projects um so yeah.

A

No, what's other missing uh missing things uh we will be transferring aws account.

A

And yeah, I guess that's it right. Yeah yeah also lfx security, but I won't be talking about it today because nothing to talk. Since june. We made no progress, we're still waiting on the linux foundation to proceed.

A

I guess we should move on, because the infrastructure is kind of fringe topic for many of users. Okay, jenkins platforms,.

C

So platforms, the first topic is that we successfully transitioned to java 11 as the default in docker java 8 still available. We also just this week received java 17 previews available in the docker images. So, if you're interested in experimenting with jenkins and java 17, there's a docker image that you can use both for the controller and for the inbound and the ssh agents. Note that it's hot spot only we're not going to do open j9. We had toyed with open j9, and it's just there.

C

Just aren't enough of us on the project interested in openj9 to to do that split you go to the next slide or like in terms of processors. Our docker images are now multi-platform. We now in the same docker image can support amd, 64 arm 64 and system 398 mainframes.

C

Eventually, once we get a particular bug fix for qamu, we'll have powerpc as well, and we're regularly testing the debian install packages on all those platforms as well, so not just docker, but also the debian installs are confirmed that they work on multi-platform and that that's it for platform sig. I think.

A

And for documentation.

C

So documentation has two two big stories. First, is the plugin docs transition to github 750 plugins have migrated. That means that the plugins that have ins that are installed on over 10 of the jenkins installed base are already migrated, but we identified additional plugins where maintainers have agreed during hacktober fest to re to review, pull requests, and you can then submit it's a very easy place to do. A nice oktoberfest contribution help us transition. This documentation help the plugin maintainer, everybody wins. The video that's linked.

C

There is a video tutorial on how you do that next slide and then today we'll be discussing what it means to not have wiki.jenkins.io with confluence and how we're going to get the transition there. That that's really all that I needed to say on docs. There.

A

Yeah, thank you. Okay, so fard work senator outreach. I will do quick update um so yeah. We participated in google summer of code. Again it was our fifth year. It has been fully completed. We had five projects, uh all students uh passed the evaluation uh and uh yeah so projects. We completed the cloud events plugin for jenkins, so now jenkins can uh submit cloud events um and later we will be talking how to integrate it with cd events project then conventional commits plugin provides uh version management uh for jenkins uh in pipelines.

A

uh We've got uh better credentials by and then for git. We got uh jenkins, remote and monitoring with basically open telemetry, so that you can submit to this data to other open, telemetry consumers and monitoring systems, for example, for traceability purposes for logs for events and yeah the results security validated for junk scuderin, which was created.

A

So I would like to thank all students and yeah it's great progress as always and looking forward to the next year we did a retrospective and hopefully there will be a mentor summit soon, but generally the google summer of code is completed and yeah. Another event we have this. This is, of course oktoberfest.

A

So if you're interested to participate, uh jinx say your events oktoberfest everything is published uh there in terms of the links uh we had a kickoff session uh uh one week ago, thanks to mark waddick, wuli and other contributors and yeah. Hopefully we'll have more things happening here and there so what's not listed other events, so I will just summarize uh uh what we had uh this year. So we had uh devops uh world uh by the way we had workshops on uh for newcomers.

A

So there we sessions there and then they will be coming soon.

A

So there will be a day of jenkins japan in december the junkies will be represented there. Then they will be supplying the qin summit on october 12th, again, jenkins is represented there and the other minor events here and there, but yeah these are two bigger ones.

A

So, if you're interested to participate, uh please do so and of course, uh at fosdem 2022. We will also have some agenda. um We are still waiting for fosdemo to announce the program for this year, whether it will be in person or remote and yet, depending on that everything else will be defined but yeah. If it's in person, I will I'm going the data real life.

C

Yeah, I sincerely hope it's in person. I want to be there. I want real real life experience face to face again just looks like so it sounds so nice and so wonderful again.

A

Yeah so let's see uh any other events, uh we are missing.

A

So one thing which may er makes sense to mention uh there will be no lfx mentorship programs resolved on because basically there was no applications. We tentatively discussed having two documentation projects, but you haven't heard anything from potential mentors mark. uh I guess it's no longer planned right.

C

That's correct, yeah, one of the it's a reminder that one of the challenges we have is getting enough mentors to do these kind of projects right now. We just don't have the capacity to run one. I think we could get funding. The problem is not funding its mentors.

A

Basically, the same project on client. We had discussions, but we didn't proceed so unless something changes, I call that we are not starting it this year, but yeah, maybe next year in february, who knows so? We have some money in our pockets and if somebody wants to participate, please do so.

A

We just need a champion who would.

B

A

And yeah, as you may see, we are skipping many a6 this time because yeah, we don't have all the contributors uh who willing to participate but yeah and who have opportunity to do so, but yeah. There are other shifts here and there, of course, for cloud native seek. There is a lot of progress after oktoberfest, especially for observability space, and we will talk about this a separate session today and yeah for the seeks we can uh proceed so is rick on the call.

C

He he is uh he's. Currently an attendee hasn't been promoted a panelist yet, but I definitely see rick there.

A

Yeah, sorry, I can promote people and talk in parallel, so yeah I just uh granted everyone who wants to participate find this permission.

A

Maybe rick would like to update for chinese localization seek.

A

B

A

Okay, so for your changes, localization seek one update. I can make so in the continuous delivery foundation. They will be officially chinese localization seek to. It has been started, it has been approved and currently there are just uh logistics questions left, so we are waiting for the convenience liberty foundation to create mainly increased grant zoom accounts. So that's sick can actually kick off.

A

We had a quick sync up with about that last week, so hopefully it will proceed.

B

A

Does anyone else want to share updates.

A

Okay, then, let's proceed yeah. So again, it's a green time to contribute. Yeah, we have october 1st. Everyone is welcome. A lot of activities in jenkins are done by pull requests. If you want a t-shirt and uh yeah, for example, documentation design everything.

A

Just submit just contribute and we have a lot of featured projects. uh Radio and all these featured projects are actually a part of our roadmap too. So here, if you go here, you can see what we promote agency's website plugin site, of course, that would change the load jenkins valve runner, uh client, plug-in primitius terminology, cleanup of course, artwork.

A

Yesterday we got a logo submitted by duchess.

A

Community from france, so it is.

A

It should should have been merged.

C

It has been merged and yet I don't see it I'm going to have to go. Look like because that that new image is delightful.

A

I believe that we have wishes with some promotion but yeah. At some point uh we had a discussion about having a shi jenkins logo so yeah. This is the first one and yeah. Everyone is welcome to submit more.

A

It's him, so it's not just about code. You can create logo and also get a pull, get a pull request towards hacktoberfest. Why not? Okay, so yeah back to this summit, uh so in 25 minutes we will start a session for jinx documentation, jenkinson, open, telemetry and uh jenkins be a part of kubernetes.

A

These sessions will happen in zoom, not in zoom webinar, so there will be no problems with grand theft, auto missions, etc and yeah. You can find a link here.

A

So basically, let's join maybe 10 minutes before the session start and and yeah there.

A

I will create rooms so that everyone can start their own discussion and as discussed there will be some changes, so I will push jinx file runner a bit later so that we never can participate in parallel.

A

Does it impact anyone.

C

That sounds good to me. Okay deal so so, oh, like the when the when the zoom meeting starts the webinar absolutely will end. So people need to grab that link now, while they've well they've still got the webinar running uh yeah.

A

I will uh update the link on the meetup page and yeah.

A

Please join it.

B

So do you mind dropping that link in chat right now, yeah.

A

Okay, so again, uh today is quite a relaxed summit, but hopefully we'll have nice chance on technical topics and yeah. If you want to propose something so for live demos, we still have some bandwidth and yeah. We can dynamically update or maybe going forward. We won't even schedule such big contributor summit events and just opt out to scheduling several sessions. uh I mean, for example, we want to talk about patreon jenkins, so we schedule a session after creating doodle, so that we'll have more working group like meetings.

B

A

Any comments questions before we close down.

C

See everybody in the zoom sessions and then in the shared sessions yeah.

A

So 15 minute break and again I ask all session hosts to do the recording locally. Then you can share the link, for example via google drive, and we will republish it on jenkins, youtube channel and the bonus points for meeting notes.

A

Thanks all thanks.

B
