Dear Jenkins crew, I'm a Master student and working Software Engineer from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I'm such a huge Fan from Jenkins so it's time to tell others how cool Jenkins is. The first time I came in contact with Jenkins "in the old days called Hudson". I was just totally amazed about Continuous Integration and about the possibilities it brings.
At the moment at my Company "Guidion" ( http://www.guidion.nl ) I work, I try to improve our Software development process and the biggest and best improvement is the use of Jenkins. We are using it for a fully automated deployment and testing process. But that's at the moment just for a few applications, and I'm the only one who uses and tries to promote Jenkins to the other development teams. So I was just searching for good material about Jenkins and found your awesome CIA program. So I thought, maybe it's a good Idea to join the CIA team and promote Jenkins, because I'm just a fan, and that's what I really like to do. I want all our other developers, and also all the interested developers from Amsterdam, provide the an opportunity to show how awesome a running Jenkins CI process can help, and how much time it saves, how much possibilities it provides, and how much confidence CI gives about my deployed applications. My plan is the following: I want to convince our web development teams and our software development teams to use Jenkins, to improve our overall development process and integrate Jenkins CI for all our Teams as a mandatory component. I want also to promote Jenkins to our management, and our contract development departments. We have a lot corporations with professional software development teams around the Netherlands, and none of them is using CI or even heard from Jenkins. This is a situation I would like to change. A nice side fact is that our company uses the slogan "Together smart", and thats what I like to support "Together smart, use Jenkins" :) The first promotion is a general introduction about Jenkins and its advantages. This one will held in our company and the group I expect is around 4 web developers, 5 software developers and 2 project managers. Also a dream is to provide free information evenings about Jenkins and maybe form meetup possibilities. Also I would like promote Jenkins at my old and current University. Our Universities provide information days were open groups and communities can promote themselves or just awesome tools like Jenkins. This are my initial ideas. I just thought to drop some lines. I'm really thankful about the Butler who just saved so much of my time and will save even more in the future and the time of many others who doesn't know it yet. Thank your very much, and keep this good work up and going. If I can help to promote I really would love to do it. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this post, and I'm looking forward to hear from you. Best regards, and greetings from Amsterdam and have a really nice day.
