Looks like Oracle and the Hudson developers aren’t getting along. The project hosting that Oracle provide (inherited from Sun) has been a bumpy ride for the developers, who are suggesting GitHub as a less bumpy and more functional way to develop. Oracle seem reluctant to let them go. Which you can understand, in a way. [...]
I felt I had to attend the next talk in the main lecture room, simply to find out what its title meant. Patrick Debois and Julian Simpson’s presentation was entitled Hudson hit my Puppet with a Cucumber … I think that’s some of our best work. (via UKUUG June newsletter)
There’s a new Hudson out. It’s got 7 bug fixes and 3 enhancements, including some profiling and optimisation work to speed up the UI. Atlassian have embarked on a Build Engineer hiring offensive. They seem to be based in Sydney. Atlassian would appear to be a great place to work. Electric Cloud have released new [...]
R. Tyler Ballance has been unveiled as the mastermind behind the @hudsonci Twitter account. He’s been working on an official Hudson blog. I’m hoping this will be a stepping stone for building out more Hudson community and conversation. Well done, all. continuous blog | the official hudson weblog.

Looks like they’ll support a branch of Hudson, and not the open source releases. That’s not unexpected. Strategically, it seems like a good [...]
TW Studios peeps Chris Read and Andy Yates graciously agreed to have a chat with me about Cruise last Friday. We talked about some of the features in Cruise and why they matter, the difference between Cruise and your average development focussed CI server, and shot the breeze about the maturity of our industry: It [...]
Andrew Binstock has written an article for SD Times, postulating that the Continuous Integration market is rapidly changing; and that the effects of this change will be: Consolidation of the enterprise market to 3 main products Consolidation of the workgroup market to CruiseControl Hudson (as free Continuous Integration servers), and Bamboo (as a paid product) [...]
We’ve written before about making your Continuous Integration build (and more) available on the big screen. I just told our CEO that a red build meant that we weren’t ready to release code. That’s a key fact to share with the rest of your team. Yesterday I set this up at work. It was the [...]
