Additional Topics

  • Quick not-so-off-topic - JCP meeting on Dec 17 and JEP-14 feedback
    • Java Community Process - caring for Java Enhancement Proposals
    • Working group that focuses on technical topics
    • Tip and Tail - how Java version things, how libraries version things
      • Mark to attend session and share Jenkins 2+2+2
  • Jenkins and Develocity FOSS sponsorship - is there still potential interest -
    • GitHub - gradle/develocity-oss-projects
    • “Develocity open source sponsorship for Jenkins CI instances” - thread in jenkins-infra@googlegroups.com - https://groups.google.com/g/jenkins-infra/c/KveP8_0b3zk/m/FjlfcFm2BQAJ
      • Develocity - distributed build caching, build scans, predictive test selection (might overlap with CloudBees’ offering being deployed), etc.
      • Some first metrics for Jenkins plugins are nice (4x build boost for a Maven based plugin), but a champion is needed to explore further. Oleg has a CoI as a Gradle employee
      • The opportunity is still there, not sure about the budget allocation. If there is no follow-up, Gradle will definitely move on.
      • Damien: interested in the infra part
      • Oleg to follow-up with Damien in January-ish. Some technical details would be needed
  • AWS account use for AWS Java SDK v2 work - JENKINS-73638
    • Jenkins infra is very interested in the AWS improvements
      • Concerned about the EC2 plugin already
    • Can allocate one or more developers an IAM profile on a distinct region
      • Will need to predict the needed resources for that IAM profile
      • What is need to start that process?
        • Create a help desk ticket with the list of users and the use case
          • Infra will generate the credentials and share them securely with the contributors
        • May need a workshop session at Contributor Summit on AWS Java SDK v2
