Continuous Deployment at CITCON

I recorded most of a discussion on Continuous Deployment and Build Pipelines at CITCON this year. I only just got around to squeezing the video size down to get it onto Viddler. It is an interesting discussion with some serious CI gurus. It’s also shaky (no, I didn’t get some old geezer from the pub [...]

Video: Jeffrey Fredrick Interview

Last week we interviewed PJ. This week it’s JTF, or Jeffrey Fredrick. He’s one of the guys who maintained CruiseControl and co-founded the OIF (the organisation that brings you CITCON). He’s also the Technical Evangelist for Urbancode, who bring you Ant Hill Pro. My Flip cam called time on the interview by filling up at [...]

Video: Paul Julius Interview

The main reason I cannot miss a single CITCON Europe: catching up with all my friends, old and new. Paul Julius and I decided to have a formal catch up on camera. Less formal conversation was had, too.

CITCON Europe 2008. Tom Sulston proposes a session for CI developers and vendors to show off their wares. The Continuous Integration Cage Fight is born. Seven geeks. One prize of … nothing. Your humble narrator was given the job of recording the battle, which he did by juggling an Asus Eeepc, and a Nokia N73. [...]

Continuous Integration Cage Fight: Buildforge

This is the final (and very late) installment in the CI cage fight series. The last speaker was Leuwie from IBM, discussing IBM Rational Build Forge. By this stage in the talk I was done with trying to take notes (curse you, cute eeepc that caught Tom’s eye!) and film at the same time. Things [...]

I’ll be doing a similar talk a few days later at QCon London, March 11-13. Finally, I’ll be at at CITCON Europe in Paris [...]
