[jenkins] notes from last jenkins user conference 2013

Fyi, Some of the infra members attended the last jenkins conf in israel. (http://www.cloudbees.com/jenkins/juc2013/juc2013-israel-abstracts.cb) Slides/Videos will be available later on from cloudbees. Here are some info we think might be relevant to oVirt: Builds: ============ * Bintray - https://bintray.com/howbintrayworks#page1 (sort of like github for binaries, including rpms, from jFrog) - replace resources.ovirt.org? * Log ovirt downloads - idea came up to count ovirt downloads if we're not doing it already Misc Jenkins plugins: ================== * Database plugin - some plugins supports storing data in db - excellent for reporting https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Database+Plugin https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Audit+To+Database+Plugin * Job generator plugin - https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Job+Generator+Plugin * Build flow plugin - https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Build+Flow+Plugin - build complex build flows, uses DSL * Jenkow plugin - bpmn https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkow+Plugin) - - early release, adds supprt for RBMS - integration of http://activiti.org/ * Parallel test executor plugin - https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Parallel+Text+Executor+Plugin - new way to run parallel jobs > splits the job into n parts and runs in parallel * Recepie plugin - https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Recipe+Plugin - share jobs with community, might be a good option to increase exposure of oVirt via jenkins. Hope we can find some of these useful for oVirt. Eyal.
