 Okay. Welcome to documentation office hours here for the Jenkins project. Today is Thursday, November 3, 2022. Today, it looks like as of right now, it's myself, Mark weight and Bruno rock then are in the meeting. And as far as the agenda goes, we have a couple of action items. Some information about the Jenkins governance board elections. A small note about DevOps world 2022. We have great news for our releases this week. And then our next release as well, the LTS for the November 30th release aka the December release. And ultimately, since it is November 3, Hector profess has ended. And we want to share some of the stats that we have from the last month and highlight some of the contributions that were made to the Jenkins documentation specifically. Anything else that needs to be added to the agenda or is that cover everything for the time being covers all the topics I wanted. Thank you for me. Okay, great. So, first action item. Mark archiving the docs mailing list and switching to community Jenkins that I know that's going to be TBD right now since you just got back and have plenty to catch up on. Not, not done yet. Yeah. No worries. And then the other action item is that we have the monthly Jenkins newsletter now, September, the September edition that came in October was the first version, we're going to have the October edition published soon. It's open for review so that will be coming published in a little relatively soon. One thing to note this isn't a typical newsletter that's emailed out this is actually a blog post from the Jenkins community blog. So, as we have it here, just show you so we have the lovely Jenkins newsletter and all the updates from the different groups. So, this is a great way to find out what we've been doing over the last month, and a chance for us to share some of the highlights and new new fun, fun new things that Jenkins offer. And as we start to have multiple editions of it. We will be able to have tags and specific filtering for it so it will be a lot more connected once we actually have things to connect. So, it will be very exciting. Next item on the list that I had was Jenkins Governance Board elections. This has been open now. It opened on October 20. So, voter registration is open and candidate nomination is open as well. It's open from the community page to go over and share instructions on how to register for voting how to share share nominations, and among other things and just some more information about what we're looking for and what we're hoping to do and what the elections are all about. If you have previously registered to vote last election, you still need to register this year as the groups that we're using is a different it's a different group from last year. So, we want to make sure that everyone has a chance to participate. This is really important for the future of Jenkins and important for every user of Jenkins to have a voice and share, you know, in the future of it and decide what gets to happen. So, by all means, if you have questions about registering to vote or voting. We have the blog post here again that goes over it we have thread in the community discourse channel as well so that there are multiple points of entry. I will say though that the community thread for some reason does not include the voting information here. So, this is totally true and real, I promise. And this is how you can register to vote, and we'll get that information out. Kevin, if you click that election voter 2022 group. I think it'd help people who see the recording to see this is where they end up and that top right hand corner where the button says leave on Kevin's page for a new arrival would say join. And that's how you that's how you become a voter. Very straightforward. And if you don't already have an account for community dot Jenkins IO, which is okay, you can use your GitHub account and make life easy for yourself or you can create a new account and dedicate it for community dot Jenkins IO. But the important thing is having an account here so that you can participate. And if there are some kind of calendar anywhere to remember me when to vote, I know we don't have the emails of the person who registered on that group so that we won't be able to send them reminder email please vote it's open now so. Actually, I think I think we, the administrators of that list so Damien de Portal and Olivier Vannon have the email addresses and use it to send a link to the to the vote. Okay, cool. It's just you're right it's not visible to the rest of us and that's a good thing it shouldn't be. Yeah, for sure. But the email address for the user is is available to those list administrators and that's how they will send the notice. I think that's how I received notice last year with this same process was the invitation to vote and said hey, here's your voting link to the condorset Internet voting system, please vote. Okay, nice. Thank you. And what I read and what it's what I was seeing that lines up exactly with how it'll work this year. So, I think marks on to something there and even if we don't have them right here someone does have it, most importantly, and there will be notifications. So far as the deadlines and time frames for the elections itself. We do have the blog post. We have the events calendar for Jenkins which I think these might need to be added to it, but at the end of the day that's something we can do pretty easily. So there are lots of different places that you'll either get reminded of get notified or can check in with at any point in time to make sure. And there should be an additional email notification going out to the depth Jenkins developer mailing list, letting them know about the election. I think that's one of the few places that we didn't post about it yet so that still needs to happen as well. Of course. And just once again just the fact that if even if you had registered last year for the election this year is a different group so please make sure that you register once again. So you can participate. Right now the tenant the date for candidates being announced and voting to actually start is November 17 so we still have a couple weeks. And we are accepting all nominations so please buy by all means. If you have anyone in mind that you'd like to see be recognized, please share that and instructions for that can also be found here. If you're in the election committee group. You'll see less people here but this is where you would send a message saying who you want to elect position why etc. And that just goes that much further in helping us determine who should be a part of the board. Great. Next on the list is DevOps World 2022. That's now happening next Wednesday, November 9. It's online completely so registration is available and open. We have two different timeframes. So one for a pack and one for EMEA. And so that you, everyone can join in if they have a timeframe that works for them they tried their very best to find that time specifically and cover as much as they possibly can. It's only a four hour event time, due to the truncated nature of things and that we're not meeting in person for this. So it's a little bit more convinced but all the talks and everything that will be happening has been really filtered out and selected based on how effective it's going to be and how useful it can be to the community. DevOps World 2022 is also no charge since it's online. And even more of a reason to join. There's very few reasons to not and you can even go to a talk given by Bruno, which is really exciting. No, I won't give my talk in this online event. It hasn't been saved for this one but that's not a problem. I think I will make lots of videos with this talk material in the following weeks or months so you will be soon fed up with seeing me just about everywhere talking about that. Just kidding. One thing I would like to know if people can't make it to the online event. Do you know if the videos will be available on video on GMM later on or not? I think I would expect they will be because it's been typical that they were, but I don't know for sure. Okay, would make sense. And I'd imagine they are recording even if it's not posted just for their own personal reason or like the organization reasons and whatnot. It'd probably just be a matter of whether or not it's available publicly after the fact, but that all that being said, sorry for suggesting that you're talking about Bruno, my bad. No problem. The talks were scheduled for Orlando but cannot be included just it's a very different format now things had to be remixed and revised so it's a little different but we're still trying to figure out ways to get those talks to happen. There's several online Jenkins meetups that can happen. We have other ways to organize events through Jenkins. In fact, it's one of the ways to participate in Jenkins is organizing and scheduling events like that. If you'd like to contribute to Jenkins without having to write me code or, you know, do something technical that's another great way to help the community, you know, continue to expand and feel empowered. Next on the agenda. So the weekly release 232.376 and our LTS release of 2.361.3 were occurred earlier this week yesterday and Tuesday. Everything went well and was successful. And today, Mark and Darren will have a live stream to go over all the new stuff in 2.361.3. So that'll be happening from what time does that start at Mark. Good question. I think it's two hours from now. Let me look. Okay. It is about two hours from now. Yes. All right. Perfect. So about two hours from now, Mark and Darren are going to be going on live stream. Join if you want. It's fun. It's good. It's nice and informative to just get a better idea of what's changing and what new things are coming or have come along now that the release is live. We'll also have our next LTS at the end of November. But it will be the December LTS. But it's going to be 2.375.1. The baseline has been selected via the developer mailing list conversation and Fred that was started. And just because all the changes and fixes and new stuff that came along with the 2.375 release, we're looking at that as the baseline and using that to go from this change log and upgrade guide and be needed. Of course, there's a lot to go over and review. So the changes from since 2.361 will take up a good chunk of it and then there will be plenty of backports as well. So lots of info to come on that and we'll be working, you know, the entire team will be working to get that taken care of and sorted. Alright, and then finally, October fest 2022 has concluded now November. But what a year. We had 117 first time contributors that have now been put through the ringer and are way better at this than they could have ever been before. They submitted 613 eligible pull requests, which is ridiculous. That's a super high number and I mean, it's just incredible. Thank you to everyone that participated and contributed. There are still a few that need to get merged, but for the most part, 531 have been completely merged accepted and that's just incredible. We have 25 different contributors. We're able to participate and help us out. And 42 of them were able to get enough pull requests merged and work contributed that they'll get a Jenkins t-shirt or a tree planted in their name. Now to Jenkins t-shirt, a Hectober fest t-shirt. Ah, Hectober fest t-shirt that makes more sense. And then just a little stat from an overall Jenkins perspective, but there were a total of 1183 manually created pull requests submitted during October in the two in Jenkins CI and Jenkins input organizations. That's an incredible number. And talking with Mark yesterday or the day before we realized that, you know, we got to almost triple digits for submissions during October alone, which is just breathtaking to say the least. And then once we have a chance to recap and connect in the line. John Mark, my son and myself will be working on blog posts that will recap the October fest. And what we're going to do with that is share some further information and stats. But we also want to highlight user stories and experiences from Hectober fest. This is very valuable and goes a long way and encouraging people to contribute and be a part of Jenkins and just open source in general. And the rest of the time today I wanted to just take a look and highlight some of the contributions that were made that went beyond what I would have expected for assistance and contributions in such a short time frame. First up is Chris Stern, who's been actually helping out with the releases recently in the last few months he's been the release lead. And he's organized some of the, the couple of the LTS is which has been great. He's developed a lot and he's went ahead and actually updated the navigation for some of our developer documentation, as well as some of the Jenkins managing proxy configuration navigation. So, for instance, all of these links are now singular size space everything. It's a lot cleaner. And it's a lot easier to just navigate through the developer docs. Before it would change and fluctuate a little bit and it was tougher to find things now it's a lot more aligned and yeah I just, it just looks a lot nicer and cleaner. Yeah, we also got this updated to to make sure that the job docs are only showing most recent releases or the five most recent releases so that this is clickable and workable for everyone. And then, in addition to the developer documentation. Chris also made it so that the reverse proxy configuration pages are all nested now. One less thing to take up room on the side navigation here, but when you need to go to it everything's still available they've all been really nicely placed in nested here. And when you go to it you get all the same information previously. And again, the navigation is just that much better now. So, big thank you to Chris for all of your work and help and contributions during October Fest, and beyond. Tnuj is another one of our October Fest participants who ended up creating a lot or improving a lot of the Kubernetes information that we didn't have before. And now we have a full page of installing Kubernetes installing Jenkins on Kubernetes with a bunch of great resources steps. Examples test everything that you might need to news has gone through great lengths to compose all this and get it put together. And we've had several reviews throughout the community to make sure that everything's good to go and correct. I can say that I went through and tested a good chunk of this and everything seems to work properly. So, a huge win for Jenkins as a whole. And again, big, big thanks to Tnuj for creating and adding all this value to Jenkins and to the documentation. Of course, I found it pretty intimidating before that documentation to start Kubernetes with Jenkins. Now I have a place to go to. That's fantastic. Great. Super. Yeah. No, it's great. Like you said, it wasn't there before. Now we have it. So this is now a real resource for folks to use and install. That's if they want to use Kubernetes, we can actually give them that assistance, which is amazing. So yeah, so again, big thanks to Tnuj. This is really great and added a lot of useful information. And then the last person that I would like to highlight here today is Taya. I'm sorry if I butchered that. But Taya was actually able to create some new logos and artwork for Jenkins, which is awesome because that's just a totally different kind of contribution than we have seen with Tnuj and Chris. But it's still a very important and very useful contribution because this allows us to connect with communities all over the world. And just that outreach becomes more accessible when we can actually and genuinely share with people and check in with people and connect with, you know, even something as simple as a logo means a lot. We have our current messaging about Ukraine and our support there on the page. So this is just another step in that line to solidify Jenkins as a universal open source community and project. Big thanks to Tnuj again for the logos and contributions. Very much appreciated. And I'm fairly positive that Jean-Marc Messin, who was the main organizer for Hexoberfest with Jenkins and CloudBees, will be has either reached out or will be chatting shortly about some more information and getting more stories from these folks as well. Does anyone else have anything they'd like to go over or any other ideas that might have come up during the meeting? Nothing for me. Thanks very much. Okay, for me either. Thank you very much. Alright then. So I think that means we can go ahead and finish up the recording for today.
