A

Hello welcome to the Jenkins's the way hug fest. Today we have a session by Lisa trunk alyssa is a events officer in there jenkins project and she will present the Jenkins's at the way program.

B

Great thanks so leg, so let me start by sharing my screen. Hey. Can you see my screen? Yes,.

A

We can okay.

B

So it's okay in this motor! Do you want me to go into presenter mode, whatever.

A

Works for you, if you are going to navigate between links, you can adjust keep. It is this okay.

B

Great so hi everybody, so my name is Alyssa I'm. The events officer for the Jenkins project and I've been with the project for quite a long time. I want to say over 10 years so today, I just wanted to share with you Jenkins sista way initiative. What is this really about? Why are we doing this? So let me move to my next slide.

B

So Jenkins is the way initiative. What is this all about? I mean. We all know that the Jenkins community is quite large. We know that there are many great things that people are doing with Jenkins all around the world, but we weren't really capturing any of this gold right. So so Jenkins is the way initiative came about, is to capture document and share innovative everyday inventions that people are doing with the Jenkins technology.

B

How are we doing this? So we are doing this by collecting user stories, which are an abbreviated form of case studies. We're also collecting the traditional detailed case studies and we're also collect two to five minute videos right, very organic videos, where what we want to do is consolidate these videos and make them into a larger video of testimonials what people are doing with Jenkins and how it's benefiting them. And then you know if none of the above, you know works for you. We will definitely take referrals.

B

So if you can just share the link there in the on the slide and with you know, people who has a compelling story we'll take it we'll take the referrals, so you might ask how much time will this take? So a user story takes about 20 to 30 minutes to fill out. The questionnaire all you do is fill out the questionnaire and then we'll write up the story.

B

That's a user story. A case study takes a little bit more time, so the the initial step is filling out the questionnaire and then additional about 45 minutes of an in-depth interview, because a case study is is more detail-oriented and then lastly, video should take about two to three seconds. You can take on your phone.

B

You know just just a testimonial right how how how Jenkins is is helping you or how it's helping you solve a certain problem and what we wanted to do is the goal is to consolidate all these videos and and make it into a little bit of a longer video, with all the people saying great things about Jenkins and preferably if we can get.

B

You know your videos, that's organic, that's in front of a landmark, and so once we put all that together, we have you know a global setting, so I think that would be really fun for us to do and then, of course, during any of this will get you one of those t-shirts it's limited.

B

So so please do share, and then you know I mentioned about the website. Let me go there right now. Can you see the website great? So this is where you can fill out the survey. This is where I can view user stories. We currently have a list of users stories, so you can read through all of that we're still working on adding to this list, so we're hoping that you know to get to add your stories on here as well. We also have case studies listed on here.

B

So we're definitely we need more case studies, but this is where you can find pretty much everything that's related to this initiative.

B

Let me go back to my deck and then some of the testimonials that we did receive out of this of this initiative, which you know we thought it wouldn't be. You know it wouldn't be good on our part not to share all the great things that people are saying about Jenkins, and so we want to get more of these. We want to get a big collection of this if possible.

B

So some of the things that people are saying about Jenkins is like Jenkins rocks because of the huge number of integration possibilities and plugin available, as well as huge community and resource available. We chose Jenkins because it is battle tested and has community support, like no other literally. There is nothing that can't be achieved using Jenkins Jenkins is an essential part of our workflow and allows more than would be manually possible and I like this. One Jenkins has all the key ingredients required to be successful, powerful, flexible, scalability and community.

B

So those are just some of the things that people been saying about Jenkins in their stories. So as I like I, said we we want to collect more of these. So let us know your thoughts either by you know, filling out the questionnaire or by video. We will greatly appreciate that, so there you have it submit your story. Jenkins is the way dot, IO, okay and Jenkins is the way. So this is about this hack vest it's to improve user interface, improve user documentation and please spread. The word about.

B

Jenkins is the way initiative, and then we have great prices and swag to send your way for to thank you for your participation.

B

Recently, last month we worked with comic strip to release a new Jenkins comic, and we thought you know in light of what's happening today. It would be good for us to have something fun to to look at, and just you know, to smile at so we came up with coming strip. That is all about Jenkins, and we will be doing this on a monthly basis, so there should be cut one. That's gonna be coming out this month. So look out for that.

B

Like I, said it's monthly, so keep an eye out for for our next release.

B

So, of course, Jenkins always needs help with participation from folks within the community. So we want you to share with us your stories how you're, using Jenkins right users through case studies and feature overviews via blogs and other resources. Those are greatly welcomed and appreciated. Post about your Jenkins experience and new features using Jenkins is the way hashtag and then we're also always looking for speakers for our online Meetup.

B

So let us know what stories that, how we can help broadcast your stories and then, of course, record your videos and we'll publish them so how to contact us advocacy and outreach sig. You have to list there, there's chat channels, mailing lists, and we also have regular meetings, which you can also find on Jenkins style, and that is it for me. Thank you for your time and.

A

Thanks Alyssa for your presentation, we granted voice permissions to everyone on the call. So if you want to ask a question, just do that happy to answer them.

C

So Alyssa are there: are there particular for okay me? Are there particular spaces where you think all would be interesting to have something from this I know my my I've got a family member who works in a robotics company. I want that story, I think it's cool robotics is cool, but I know other people who work in retail or who work in in industries that people may not realize. Oh there's a lot of software in that particular space and it's probably being helped by Jenkins. We.

B

Will take every stories and in every space, so I think I. Think everybody has a compelling story to share. So you know the more that we can get the more in any other spaces that we can get. It's always welcomed right.

A

And also drink is not just about software, it can be any other automation. Disk is hardware. It develops home automation, accounting, automation, whatever in my case a first three years with Hudson I haven't really been testing any software there I would say she was most about hard way at the time for me and if you want to share such stories, why not? It's also very interesting yeah.

B

C

Point I was talking to an audio engineer a day or two ago and that the audio business, of course they do a lot of signal, processing and all of the sound that they deal with. There's there's elements of computing there that is automatable in automation and they're, using Jenkins heavily yeah.

A

Okay, so other questions, tor Lisa.

B

Send me your stories, please, please.

A

Do so yep and maybe.

C

Yes, so Alisa is there. There may be folks on the call who are not as comfortable with English written or spoken. Is there any way we can help those who may say, oh, hey I may write something: that's grammatically flawed into your pages. What's going to happen with that, that's.

B

A great question mark we will definitely take. We actually have had quite a few of those stories. We do have a team of writers that will work to clean up the English and then we'll write it up. We'll give it back to the person who filled out the questionnaire to review for accuracy, and once we have that thumbs up, then we publish it. Okay,.

C

So if even if English is not my first language, I can provide it in in as good English as I can, and your team will worry about, turning it into something and I still get to review it afterwards to be sure that I'm, okay, with the way you've, rephrased or the way you've you've taken my wording. Excellent.

B

That's absolutely correct and.

A

They, if it's not English, it's so possible to publish it, maybe not through the Jenkins's the way program, but we can find other resources. So if you want to publish content in other language, let us know we'll try to help as well.

B

Absolutely yeah for.

A

All kinds of such questions please reach out to us in advocacy and outreach specialist channel, because we will be able to help to provide proper contacts and we will be able to answer any question.

A

So we've got a number of questions in some Connie, so the first question is maybe shank. This slide.

B

Yes can definitely share yep.

A

So we'll share them right. At the meeting same, we would share.

A

Shared a recording so stay tuned and we will publish that.

A

Another question is from Philippa is how to Center the stories exactly so.

B

I'm typing that my response up right now or like so I, will have the link in the in my response. Oh and.

C

I think it's just Jenkins is the way that I oh right and there is their forms right there. That will gather the data. So if I open that web page and there's a link that will, let me start entering the answers. Every.

A

Time almost likely, it won't work, it doesn't work for me. Try clear and key Oh cookies is definitely not the best idea.

A

Okay, doesn't work incognito mode anyway, so if somebody else so once the screen shade would be appreciated. I am.

C

I am happy to do that. Hang on just a minute, while I drag something into place. Okay,.

A

So now we will see how mark submits of the story right exactly.

C

Well, and and Mark's done this so they're happy to do it again. Jenkins is the way. Can you see my screen? Are you seeing the one that has my browser on it.

C

It would help if I could spell now, wouldn't it is as an eye in it just so ever change.

A

Okay, so you good motivation, no I just.

C

Have fat fingers or like I apologize I, obviously could not type okay. So it's on the left here right. What is it and then I click? The big button here that says thank our simple survey. If I click that it's going to put me into a series of questions now, my screen is not giving it all the advantage that it should so I'm going to start answering questions so first is am I ready to go. Yeah I am let's go ahead and okay whoops I, okay, continue!

C

So what sighs I need a men's, t-shirt and embarassingly? Now, if I need Excel, I'm mark wait- and it goes like this- so I'm a Technical Evangelist, and this could get really boring so, but it's that's how it works. Yeah.

B

C

Absolutely we have to have that because otherwise don't know how to contact you. So there's me, okay and, let's see so, let's add with cloudBees and now I sick, save answers and go next and it just starts asking me questions. So what is the project's name? In my case, it was a little bit of the hardware cloud nice.

C

What's that at cloudy's, oh no you're, right I have to that's your oh. It does.

B

C

Story right: it's documentation, documentation as code would be a good, cloudy story: okay and automating delivery.

C

Let's see what industry of business type, so this is computer software.

C

Company name cloudBees website.

C

The project website, I'm, not sure I've, got one of those, that's public, so Alyssa. Is it okay that I don't answer the public website.

D

C

Well and I I can always go back and answer it see. It was this one training got cloudBees calm this site right here, for example, uh it's offline at the moment, but those are the sites that we were dealing with. So I'll have to get that I know.

B

That some, the folks who have submitted in the past some projects does not have its own project website. So we.

C

Don't information.

B

You can put yeah.

C

Right so this is no funding, provided no, no need for a separate organization to note it's a global organization and other team members. Yes, so Meg, for instance, and Rome, and and they were all it needs name and name. Eric, author Rome, an infrastructure.

C

B

So the the reason for this question is to highlight other people within the team that's contributing to this project, but also that we also wanted to send them a t-shirt as well. Cool.

C

Okay, and so we continue and now, development platforms. In my case it was Linux inode, Okerlund,.

A

Kubernetes, that's.

C

A

You're right, it was oh.

C

You're right it was docker it definitely. Okay, so Oleg proved that there I can go back and correct mistakes. I like that and I was running on Windows, but we won't admit that ya.

A

Know it interested to know more about the story by Martha they were presenting the training cos coat at the bobsville Jenkins fault Lisbon. So we should have a record in some way right. We.

C

Do in fact, row man was was quick enough to keep a recording of it, seeing which build tools a we other build tools. So in our case it was darker eyes and Tora if I remember docker and custom. Oh, it was custom asciidoc with oh and we can certainly end here. Oh like there's plenty. That's that's been shown here. This was a ski dock and docker.

C

And the goal was training delivered as code its code delivered to users.

C

Challenge was delivering infrastructure all the way to AWS installations or slides and labs. Oh.

C

It's that that straightforward, we just keep going and what was our solution. It was Jenkins training with labs delivered from our github repositories,.

A

C

And I don't know that I need to continue. Oh, like are you feeling like I, should continue. I can happily stop there. I wish this after the meeting yeah.

A

I think you can do it later and thanks for doing it, you bet so yeah. The next question is: how would I know if my user story is selected.

B

We actually do not reject any user stories. So if you complete a whole questionnaire- and we have everything we need, then we will it'll probably take that's about two weeks to get it written up, because right now we have a bit of a backlog, so we're not rejecting any stories. If it's completed, then we will write it up. Yeah.

A

One thing to mention is that if you really touching his code of conduct like doing some bonding, then no so they okay.

B

Correct good point: Oleg.

A

Okay, so let's continue, then there is a question now from Philip I'm having trouble accessing the Jenkins's the way a website in my region, so I guess you hit exactly the same, which is me because I also cannot access it right now, so we'll need to figure out it out what what's going on. So something is going on in Europe, right gasps, not sure why.

A

Things happen because we use CDN I guess so. Maybe it's just my should be CDN.

A

A

We'll figure out it out and get it fixed. Okay,.

A

Any other questions.

A

A

Good, not yeah thanks Alyssa for doing this presentation, it's much appreciated and again I invite everyone to share your stories about Jenkins. There are multiple ways to do it. A Jenkins's.

A

The way is our recommendation, but you can also write a blog post for Jenkins ie or for other resources, for example, if you use medium that commonly still can do it and just let us know if you're shy, so I'm concluding the hot fest you can also just to post your experience about the Jenkins in social media, for example, entreated and make it in if we use Jenkins, is the way hashtag.

A

You can find a number of stories here already and some images, like example, using lists the way comics, so you can just post it and we try to capture it and also the post and the republish when applicable, and also we have Jenkins online Meetup. So if you want to join and present your story, we have, we are doing many events. He is drinking online meetups.

A

You have seen this page, it gets because so this is how we post events, including this training session, and, if you're interested to present, we have a page on Jenkins I/o, which describes how to contribute so, for example, if you're a speaker and just contact us using advocacy and outreach special interest group, we have a public CHP process if you want to host a meet-up, for example, with you event organizer and you need online meet our platform. Taking the current situation is quite reasonable. We are also happy to help you please let us know.

A

So it's also part of the promotion, and we would appreciate if you share stories about Jenkins such platforms same. If you want to just record a video, so you can record short, beanie or shade with the Lisa. It would be integrated into key study if you want to make a longer video, it's also possible. For example, we have a youtube channel for Gingka, and that is a lot of videos published there. If you, let us know we'll gain, then get it published.

A

Okay, any questions comments.

A

A

Okay, so yeah, the chat is also uploaded right: okay, okay, sorry about that at least. We definitely know a number of participants who want to get Tinky's dishes.

A

Okay, so yeah I think we should just close up the session because see I can kick everyone yeah.

C

I think, let's, let's call it into the session. If nothing else, we have at least one person who has violated our code of conduct, I think that's, let's! Let's call it done record and save the recording. We can edit out parsed portions as needed. Oh like and I'm happy to help with the editing. If you need it. Okay,.

A

Yep, thank you all and I'll stop the recording.

B
