Today I returned from a trip to San Francisco. I was there attending a Jenkins User
conference. I learned a lot of great
things and validated some of my thought processes around other things. That being said, I brought one thing away
from the conference. “Participate.”
For years I have been too intimidated to participate. However, the
one thing I realized by being at the user conference is that when it comes to
continuous integration there is no “silver bullet.” All these projects are out there getting it
done and doing it the best way they know how.
My company is among those laying a path of continuous integration. We also have our eyes on the horizon as we navigate our way to continuous deployment.
It is time I participated in the community. We are a unique company that allows a lot of
learning to happen within the realm of business. For that reason, I think it is time to share
some of our learning with the community.
I need to figure out the details of course. How much I can share and
not cross the line with my company? I'm not totally sure. The details will work themselves out, but this is as good place to start.
