Keynote Address and Opening Remarks
summary
Jenkins reports 37% installations growth year‑over‑year, slaves +54%, jobs +76% and passed roughly 10,000 plugins. Recent work includes a responsive UI move from table to div layouts, Docker support (official Jenkins image, Docker-based slaves and image publishing), a Groupon-style CI using CI.yml and a MongoDB backend serving thousands of projects, and scalability efforts (X1K executors, remoting over NIO). The new workflow plugin with Groovy DSL provides durable checkpoints and survives master restarts by reconnecting to running slave processes.
