## Announcements 📢

1. Jenkins Weekly Releases
  - Last Week: 2.559
    - Infrastructure issue, delayed the image of 2 hours (packer image)

  - This Week: 2.560
    - Everything went fine

2. Announcements:
  - Jenkins Digicert Code Signing Certificate expires in May: [[pkg.jenkins.io/release.jenkins.io] Certificate signing the MSI Jenkins package expires on 16 May 2026 · Issue #4923 · jenkins-infra/helpdesk · GitHub](https://github.com/jenkins-infra/helpdesk/issues/4923)
    - Mark successfully used LF’s signing system locally
    - Started to implement in our release process.
      - Short term: using Azure credential provided by LF.
        - WiP on Windows agent environment (tools: dotnet 8, etc.) dedicated for signing only (slower build, faster to test and implement)

      - Medium term: move Windows environment (build AND signing) to our all-in-one VM (faster build, less maintenance)
      - Long term: add OIDC on release.ci with a public issuer endpoint to allow credential-less signing with LF (safer for them)

    - Proposed calendar:
      - Targeting new signing for weekly 2.561 on 28 April
      - Then 2.552.2 LTS on 13 May

  - Incoming updates:
    - (Critical) Incoming Java patch campaign
    - (Important) Node JS 24.x
      - packer image is on 22, need to be bumped
      - GHA are deprecating NodeJS 20 actions (security-scan, CD releases, and helpdesks)

    - (Important) Docker CE 29+
      - Should fix Windows issues
      - If it breaks plugins CI builds, then they must bump their `docker-client` API version
      - ATH is already using 29.x in their nested Docker engines

    - (Nice to have) Maven 3.9.15
      - 3.9.14 was delayed. let’s jump directly to 3.9.15.

    - (Nice to have) Helm v4
