Some of you may have been following all the photos posted to the hudsonlabs Flickr account from this year's JavaOne conference in San Francisco. Alan O'Leary responded to this photo with one of the funniest comments of the day: "Java and Oracle - 'In Opposite Directions'"...

Yesterday Digg was kind enough to host and "sponsor" (read: free drinks and pizza!) a Hudson meetup at their offices in San Francisco. While Digg has been the source of some controversy and press due to their recent redesign and corporate shake-ups, as far as the Hudson community goes they've been largely responsible for a great case study on continuous deployment using Hudson and Gerrit. Attendees included all of...

Editor's note: This is a very rough set of notes from Kohsuke Kawaguchi's presentation at JavaOne 2010. Kohsuke takes the stage, asks "who uses's Hudson" the majority of audience raises their hands Discussing the great ecosystem using Hudson across the wide-variety of platforms/languages. 330+ community written plugins. Last year at JavaOne we had 230+ plugins Eclipse Community Survey, Hudson adoption from 9.1% in 2009 to 21.8% Discussing Hudson adoption, going...

Last night on my way out of San Francisco I stopped by 4th and Howard St to get my first taste of JavaOne/Oracle OpenWorld which was already taking shape at the location. Besides snapping the photo below, I also managed to get yelled out by an old woman wearing a red "security" jacket; suffice to say my JavaOne experience is already everything I expected! Unlike...

A few months ago I enjoyed running a couple interviews with folks who were using Hudson but lately I've lacked the time and coffee to get more interviews done. I am planning on making up for it by bringing my fancy smancy tape recorder (i.e. a smartphone) and a few notepads to the upcoming JavaOne conference here in San Francisco. If you're interested in talking...

Last time I talked about HudsonMobi 2.0 there were some hiccups with the QR code which made me pretty irritated. Now the leading mobile app for Hudson users has regained my trust with their lastest release for iOS 4, the latest incarnation of Apple's mobile operating systems for iPhones and iPod Touches. Since I fall into the category of subhumans who for one reason or...

Just wanted to let everybody know that I've gone ahead and added a Calendar for all the upcoming Hudson-related events. Hopefully we'll be able to add more and more events for the rest of the year including seminars, more meetups and potentially a few drink-ups! Worth mentioning that I've not yet tested the iCal feed so if you have troubles with it, let me know (via...

Today, I’d highlight two recent improvements to the label and matrix projects. When you have multiple slaves in your Hudson build farm, you can use labels to classify slaves by their capability/environment/architecture/etc. For example, your one slave might have “32bit” and “windows” label, while another one might have “linux”, “ubuntu”, and “64bit.” (with plugins like <a href=”http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/PlatformLabeler+Plugin”>platform-labeler plugin</a>, you can attach labels automatically, too.) Or...
