 Hello, and welcome to the Jenkins Docs Office Hours. This is the European US edition here on October 6th at 2 p.m. from EEST. And today on our agenda, we have some action items regarding blog posts and other items that have come up lately for Jenkins. We just had an LTS release yesterday, successfully completed. So change log upgrade guide is available. Just an update about DevOps World 2022 and its status. October Fest is off to an amazing start. We've got tons of contributions coming in from various user groups all over the world. So we'll be able to discuss that further and share more about that. And then last on my list today is just the upcoming weekly release, two, three, seven, three, which will happen again on Tuesday. Pending nothing, no other changes or anything, releases before that. So, yeah, Mark, is there anything else you'd like to add to the agenda today? Or does that cover everything for you? That covers it. Let's take those topics. OK. So as far as the action items go, Mark still looking to archive the Docs mailing list, but it's going to take some time. You're going to be out of office for a couple of weeks coming up. So we'll look to it. We'll look for it later. Yeah, November is the best I can hope for on that one. OK, no worries. Yep, in a couple of weeks ago, we published a blog post announcing our Digital Ocean Partnership. They're the main organizer and sponsor of Hacktoberfest. So just a real fun collaboration that we get to continue and push forward with and dedicate resources. Big thanks to Digital Ocean for providing the sponsorship. We appreciate everything. We also published the Adopt and Improve a Plugin tutorial, which has been a long time coming based off last year's DevOps world. And now has both a blog post and the tutorial itself. So lots of great information on how to adopt and upgrade plugins and is a great new user friendly, really thorough and provided you take the time to follow the steps. It works really well. We also had another blog post recently published just this week about scaling out iOS builds on AWS or Amazon Web Service. That was recently published and just is a great bit of information for those iOS build. So, yeah. And then 2.361.2. Again, that was our LTS release yesterday, went out and completed successfully. So we're really happy about that. And the change log and upgrade guide have been published. They're available on the Jenkins.io website. And that also goes for the weekly of 2.372. That's also in the weekly release line change log. So everything's ready to go. Everything's available and things are working well. It's great. Oh, yeah, go ahead, Mark. On that one, we've got a live stream today with Darren Pope and me. I should put that in the links. I'll include the hyperlink because it starts in about two hours. Fantastic. OK, that's awesome. The live streams are always a great watch. I love catching up afterwards. Quick note on DevOps World 2022. Unfortunately, it did have to be postponed due to hurricane in landing in Florida last week. It has been postponed. It will be happening online in the future. And it just needs to be planned, rescheduled, promoted. And basically, we're going to still have things like the contributor summit, but it will be in a different format. So no one's going to miss out on any of the information we were hoping to share. It's just going to be delivered a little bit differently. But the nice thing is the contributor summit will be open to anyone who wants to join, which is really exciting. Now it's not just a matter of who's going to be at the conference. So that does mean that it does have to be conducted a little differently. So that, again, will be planned and rescheduled, and we'll be sure to update everyone when that comes available. Now, the bulk of. Hector profess has been happening in the last few days. It's started over the weekend. But for some folks, it wouldn't have started till Monday. But we've been getting over contributions from over a dozen people right now already, which is huge. And I've been able to review some of the pull requests as well as Mark. And they are wonderful. People are doing great work and putting a lot of effort into share further information, further documentation efforts in Jenkins. Again, I appreciate everyone's work here and just wanted to thank the users that I know, for fact, have submitted pull requests that we've been able to merge. Listed here, there are others for sure, and I don't want to miss anyone, but big thanks to everyone that's helping and contributing to October Fest. John Mark had written a blog post for September, so it's a few weeks old now, but everything still applies since it is for October Fest. So if you have any questions, there's a great link there with some wonderful information from John Mark. And then we also have the live stream link available. This is the October 2022 kickoff live stream that John Mark and I think Darren hosted on Tuesday and is a great introduction to October Fest, what the idea is behind it and a lot of the details, contents, et cetera, that are contained, that are about October Fest. These live streams are going to happen weekly, so they're going to be there. They're going to be posted on YouTube after the fact. So this information will be available, whether you can make it live or not. We also, I'm going to change past the open forum part and just mention the chat page, just in case anyone's not aware. We have a chat page on the Jenkins.io website, and it contains all the methods of communication for various Jenkins channels. So just on Gitter, we have Jenkins, Newcomer Contributions, which is a great place to ask questions. If you're just getting started with Jenkins, we also have a October Fest channel. So there are multiple places to ask questions to get assistance. We have the Internet Relay Chat, which can be used through various clients, and we have Matrix channels as well that are available. And the nice thing is we've actually recently been able to connect the Release channel and the Jenkins Infer Channel. So these two now, regardless of where you might be chatting or keeping up with them, they're connected. So Gitter talks to IRC, talks to Matrix, et cetera, and back and forth. This means that you can stay up to date with Jenkins, get all the latest information on releases and infrastructure as often as you want, and without having to worry about you're not in the right place. Every place is the right place now. So it's going to it's we're going to continue merging these channels and connect or not merging, but connecting these channels as well. So as we go forward, there will be even more cross communication between the IRC, between Gitter, between Matrix, so that everything can be kept up and without any real lag or downtime between messages, which is really exciting since these kind of things are sometimes urgent. So. Great work by Gavin Mogan for taking care of that and getting those channels connected. Really appreciate the work he's doing there, as well as things that are happening for the government and other areas of Jenkins in general. As an aside. Now, I'll hold off on that. I was going to have an open forum so that if any Hectoberfest participants were joining us today in our meeting, could share progress, ask questions, thoughts, comments, concerns, et cetera. It doesn't seem like we have anyone here right now. So both will hold off on that for the time being. If anyone joins in the next couple of minutes, we can always check in with them. But outside of that, Mark, it seems like we've navigated through everything for the most part. Is there anything I might have missed or anything else you'd like to add here? No, I think I think we've covered the topics. We'll do as a forewarning. I will be there won't be Asia office hours next week, the week after or the week after that. So those three office hours will be canceled. They've been removed from the Jenkins, the Jenkins calendar. We will continue to European office hours those times and Kevin will host those. So that's that's great. Thanks, Kevin. Yeah, of course, really looking forward to it. And since Mark will be away, I am here for any Hectoberfest questions, documentation questions, Jenkins questions that I can try to answer. Anything at all. I'm here to help. And if not, if I don't know the answer, I will get you to the person who does or at least the right direction. So, yeah, by all means, this is going to be really exciting for the next few weeks. Hectoberfest is off to a great, great, great, great start. And it's only going to go back, get better from here. So really looking forward to all the participants and getting to connect with everyone that I possibly can. It's really exciting to just strengthen and build the community. Great. Okay. Well, then if that's the fact that covers everything, then I think we can stop the recording work, the recording will be available in the next 24 to 48 hours. It'll be posted on the community dot Jenkins.io site. So everything can be followed up there.
