I wanted to send an broader email to the dev list indicating that I will be changing the name of what we have thus far referred to as "Jenkins Essentials" to "Evergreen." The latter has been the name of the distribution system since day one, and as we near completion on "Milestone 1", which will be useable by actual people, I wanted to fix the name to ensure that what "it" is, is clear and understandable.
Since the early days, "Essentials" has unfortunately been a bit of a confusing name for some folks. It tended to be related to the "Suggested Plugins" feature far more than I had ever wanted. The key aspect of it is _not_ the selection of plugins, but rather how those plugins get out there to users. >From my perspective, the always-automatically-up-to-date distribution aspect of what we've built, *that* is the key take-away. Evergreen captures that promise _far_ better in my opinion. (with a nice hat-tip towards Green Balls and Blue Ocean's green status indicator :)) The four pillars remain the same, but the key premise of Evergreen is being highlighted much more with this change. >From a practical standpoint, I will be submitting updates to the JEPs we have written thus far, add an update note to old blog posts, and post an blog post explaining what Jenkins Evergreen (nee Essentials) is and how to use it as of Milestone 1 (:clap:). Let me know if you've got any questions, and of course, I look forward to chatting with many of you about Evergreen at DevOps World - Jenkins World San Francisco coming up soon :D Cheers -R Tyler Croy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
