I mean we had a room full of Jenkins Related individuals in one way shape or form there was Just great vibes constant conversations really lovely presentations from the various officers and board members and ultimately we got a lot of Not only great discussion, but a lot of great work done after the presentations because we had shared group coding sessions, which first of all wouldn't have been possible in any other capacity as we are global and All based in various places But ultimately really yielded results almost immediately, which is really fascinating just to know that We had that possibility. We came into the room people were talking and working And just ideas flying immediately. So really fantastic results of that and just really heartening to see How we were able to collaborate and produce immediately. So really fantastic there and welcome mark.

So this was Posted last week in a blog post. Thanks to Alyssa tongue for writing this up We've got the 2024 edition of the Jenkins contributor awards So this is the same as last year where we have the most valuable Jenkins contributor most valuable Jenkins advocate and Jenkins security MVP So nominations are currently open and you can use their corresponding link for each separate award and it has all the corresponding information about the award and Things to note is that lap previous year's winners are not eligible to win for this year and However, if it was a year prior, they're eligible once again and then the nomination deadline is Monday, February 19th 2024. So if there's someone you haven't mind by all means go in go ahead and comment and We're yeah, gonna go off comments off Reactions to the comments. We're gonna get all that Figured out for the nominations themselves and then proceed with voting and everything from there on out And then just the same as last year winners will be announced at CD con 2024 this year And so for the Jenkins contributor Yeah, that would be young far check was last year's winner. So yeah, it's not eligible this year For Jenkins advocate. I think it was yeah Mark weight is unfortunately ineligible for the most valuable advocate this year Still the biggest one in my heart. So that's always there and then security MVP was Daniel Beck last year So Daniel's not an eligible this year, but as with all the Awards, there are very very valid candidates that are out there for every one of these and so it's up to us to make sure they get nominated The next item on the agenda is Alexander Brendon's actually submitted a new pride logo. So this one updated the logo From the existing pride flag to be a little bit more inclusive And an updated flag art here really nice really Just great to have an updated version. So thanks to Alex for that LTS 2.440.1 is set to release on February 21st I'm currently working on the change log an upgrade guide for that And I still need to submit the pull request for that But I've got everything compiled and I'm going through and reviewing the entries now for what should be included And then in addition to that the release candidate was actually made available yesterday in the developer mailing list So that is now available. Please go ahead and grab that test out Do whatever review you feel like doing if there's any issues, please raise them And we have the backporting ticket as well where those Candidates are going to be living for the time being We also had a weekly 2.444 release on this past Tuesday. So the change log is available as well And everything seems to have went smoothly there. So everything's looking good there on that front And then we've been discussing the Maven and Python tutorial revamps these now include Docker compose instructions Thanks to Bruno Rochson for implementing that And this has been great Docker compose is a better overall Solution to the Docker and Docker and so this is much safer much more streamlined and easier to set up and configure and then run so just fantastic overall there and then Eventually we'll be looking to incorporate the Docker compose instructions into the actual installation docs And so eventually we'll Bruno and I will take a look at that. He'll show me the ropes and I'll work on I'll be working on that We're no any notes on the docker compose stuff Not really I saw earlier today on Gitter that some people were still using Install Jenkins on top of Docker tutorial on the website and even if it's not really secure and Really not up to date. It's still working. So we are in a hurry, but it's not urgent. We'll work on that No, that makes sense perfect. Thank you very much And then the next step on list. So this is some to this item here this related pages in 404 This is something from a newer contributor. So thanks very much to Shridhar, I think yeah Shridhar for putting this together So what they've done is they've made it so that the 404 page now will actually give you a list of related pages from your search So I forget off top my head how to actually Trigger this in page, but we have a preview here. So You'd get a 404 and then you can search for related pages here The search would actually Contain what you might have already searched for and if you didn't search for anything specific to be brought here It would list related pages based on content So that just fantastic to see thank you very much to Shridhar for Submitting that and put doing all that work and collaborating with the rest of the community Chris and others voicing concerns comments and issues. So just really fantastic collaboration all around and yeah, thank you very much for the version documentation site of Jenkins.io. So No changes since last time we talked. It's been delayed a little bit due to For us to check in on the Azure cost savings and make sure that that's in order before we Continue pushing the version documentation into the infra so the issue has been created we're in the process of setting that up but Just pushing off we're holding off on a little bit for now Now that January is over Von D should have more times without exams have to have to worry about so There should be more progress made there soon, but Everything's looking okay there and then at the contributor summit and over the course of Fostum I was able to talk with Daniel Beck who's part of the security team about some of the Questions that they have about their processes making sure that security advisories are still published Got properly and clearly and ensuring that Anything that they need to do can be done efficiently for them. So these are things that I'm actually going to do a little bit more research in and make sure that we can have a Good constructive conversation with Chris with the security team with everyone involved so that They're at that it we can put that to rest For the sponsor attributions page. So again something we've been discussing The long and short it is Jay frog asked about being accredited or Attributed as a sponsor for Jenkins, which absolutely they deserve to be they are But we want to make sure that we're attributing their sponsorship accurately and so Basil's gone ahead and created a sponsors page in a as a draft and The page will have the various levels of sponsorship that Jenkins receives and The associated partners in each level So anchor would be something like cloud bees where it's a very heavily sponsored heavy sponsor of the project Where the gold silver and bronze will be the various tiers according to monetary value mirrors or something separately Separate from that entirely and it is a different form of sponsorship. So those will have a separate section as well But yeah, things are looking good here. It's just a matter of making sure that the sponsorships are Correct and accurate for current time and situations That that being said red hat is no longer a sponsor as they're not part of the CD Foundation specifically anymore. So we've removed them digital ocean has still be as still donating So they're going to be visible oracle stop donating. So we need to make sure they're not visible on that page So there's just some fine-tuning that needs to happen more than anything else at this point And that was already got the draft of this and everything set up. So Yeah, it's more just completing it at that point And then the last thing that I had on the agenda for today was just GSOC 2024 preparation still going strong We have the contributor session the contributor roundup just prior to Fostum on the 25th There was more than 20 people attending lots of questions lots of activity in the Gitter Channel. So Overall participation is looking great And I know Bruno you Alyssa and John Mark were able to attend a GSOC meetup or event I forget what it was called on over the Fostum weekend Is there anything you'd want to share or note about GSOC 2024 while we're talking? In fact, nothing really happened during that dinner We just discussed with other GSOC organizations and that was pretty cool because we had the same feelings about What kind of contributors we have how hard or easy easy to work with these contributors you know the numbers of Mentors per project so on so it was cool to see that it's not only Jenkins sometimes struggling with contributors But it it's the same for everybody. We also discussed with some new contributors Which was also interesting, but yeah, we got nothing new from Google Yeah, it was a nice nice evening But that's all at least I managed to get us Subscribed to GSOC. I know it's not the right term, but you will get it better later on So I think we're still waiting for the answer from Google But we told Google we are interested and I don't know when we'll get the answer Very cool And then so we'll yeah more come on that then in that case Yeah, and then Yeah, so I know that we've been talking a little bit about Potentially getting more mentors if we can get more mentors. I know the call for mentors blog post is out there We've got about 10 volunteered and I saw that Chris Stern and You Bruno had updated the projects page and everything I know that we're getting ready for the organization application essentially so Any other any other news there anything else we can do in the meantime No, I don't think so Okay That works great. Thank you very much. She had it. No, okay And so that brings us to the end of the agenda that I laid out here for us Mark Bruno. Is there anything else you don't want to talk about no Today well, we have no other hot topics for me Okay All right. Well in that case we'll go ahead and wrap things up. We'll stop the recording It'll be available in about 24 to 48 hours and as always. Thank you very much for joining and Yeah, have a nice week. We'll see you then Take care. Bye
