JenkinsWorld

great question!

Hearing people share their stories, their experience. Transforming a company towards Continuous Delivery is an amazing journey. And I can tell you, in most cases this is not a straight line!

And also the great energy emanating from all of the change agents who came to attend the conference. People know why they attend, there is no convincing needed!

Hmm... sleep deprivation leading up to the event? LEGO figure giveaway? Free beer in the evening? So many to choose from...

@SachaLabourey pulling from previous #JenkinsWorld what companies would you point to?

LEGO figure giveaway is a big hint from @kohsukekawa :)

I actually have a nice collection of Lego figures I have built up over time

@SachaLabourey often somebody asking a question leads to the revelation of what/how/why they do it. Stuff that only happens when you are face to face.

For me KK's keynote is always a highlight @devopsdotcom kohsukekawa

My favorite every year is Kohsuke's keynote :-)

They keynote is always awesome. I also want to watch community presos in the booth.

@hrmpw mine too :-)

Personally, I'm looking forward to this talk by Harpreet & KK: https://jenkinsworld...

I'm excited to hear from our sponsors during the theater sessions, too!

https://jenkinsworld... and https://jenkinsworld... look especially interesting to me

beyond keynotes though what else are you looking forward to?

Also should recommend this talk about moving 100 freestyle jobs to pipeline: http://sched.co/AVaz

Agreed, the 2nd one @tyvole listed sounds excellent

Talks from the actual usage experience is always insightful, like http://sched.co/AVaz

I'm also curious about how Sanil is doing Freestyle->Pipeline conversions: https://jenkinsworld...

@kohsukekawa yes I like to see people using things in the field…saw a great session a year or two ago (?) about creating reproducible Jenkins instances from containers, talked about the pitfalls and tricks, things I would not have thought about before

if we are talking “which speaker would I like to talk to after the talk”, definitely https://jenkinsworld... @ LesFurets.com

Making the Best Out of Jenkins on Kubernetes and OpenShift, but I'm biased http://sched.co/ALOM

I'm looking forward to http://sched.co/ALR1 I would like to learn a reliable way to test my pipelines without having to run them all the way through.

I'm looking for experiences in work areas that I've not considered enough, like logging http://sched.co/Bvug

If you do not see me on my workshop it'll mean that social events went out of hand the night before.

I'm ready to dress up for the Summer of Love reception! Very excited about networking with our partners at our partner reception, too!

@kdlinrogers that sounds really cool :-)

I believe there's a "Summer of Love" social planned...that sounds fun! :)

I think it's always hard to pick social events in advance. There are so many it's best to choose that day.

@frodobalboa everyone needs to get their themed outfits ready!

@vfarcic - do you have a clone that can fill in for the workshop? :)

@frodobalboa I think I should record a video before coming to SF and just let someone play it if I don't show up.

@frodobalboa ... or let @csanchez take it over :)

@vfarcic I'm not sure you really want to do that :)

That is what makes a great community event, and meeting people in person you only know online

last year, some of the demos on the community booth was incredibly popular

@kohsukekawa I was quite surprised at the level of interest in last year's community presentations. I had a brief snippet on managing large repos and there were more interested than I expected. I'm not the only one who makes mistakes of repo size

Booth demos are especially gratifying because the audience is small enough that attendees can feel free to just interrupt and ask you to show something related but a little different. I have often wound up in hour-long conversations this way.

@kohsukekawa we debuted Declarative Pipeline in a community booth demo last year

@kohsukekawa and that might have been the first real demos for Blue Ocean as well.

This year we're also trying for a "pull request" corner in the booth, hoping to coach and encourage new contributors. Come help us triage a bug report, write some docs, write a test, or fix a bug.

also Ask the Experts is always popular!

neat idea. Might be easier to guide contributors if there is a face-to-face intro on how to submit things effectively: e.g., what actionable bug reports look like and how to grab the attention of the right dev; or, making PR diffs reviewable.

That's awesome!

Sounds great.

great to hear!

Yes, very cool. Containers have been a big gap for iOS development. Looking forward to hearing more about this.

Happy to have Veertu attend & sponsor!

Manisha, looking forward to visiting your booth, please stop by our video center for an interview!
