PRESENTED BY:

TOPIC SUMMARY:                                                                  
Jenkins (http://jenkins-ci.org/) is a popular Web-based build automation        
tool, used in agile development and the DevOps movement.  Jenkins allows        
you to define a sequence of build jobs that can be automatically                
triggered by a git commit.  Jenkins provides a dashboard to monitor the         
status of build jobs.  If there is a problem with the build, you can            
drill down into the build logs to discover the exact error.  This allows        
you to quickly discover the problem, and fix it.                                
                                                                                
An overview of Jenkins and how it works will be presented.  Building and        
testing of a simple PHP program will be demonstrated.                           
                                                                                
This meeting will be co-sponsored by the Silicon Valley Linux Technology        
Meetup (http://www.meetup.com/Silicon-Valley-Linux-Technology/).                
                                                                                
ABOUT THE PRESENTER:                                                            
Robert Harker (http://www.harker.com/) is a gray beard Linux/UNIX               
systems administrator and Web farm wrangler.  At Yahoo Sports, he was           
involved in their move to agile development.  In Yahoo Sports's move to a       
DevOps team, he was from the Ops side of the house, championing                 
automation for the deployment process of new code to production.  Yahoo         
Sports used the Jenkins build automation framework to build, package,           
deploy, and automatically test code in all three of their environments,         
development, test/staging, and production.                                      
                                                                                
His current interest is the Open Data movement of publishing public             
government data in a cloud repository that can be analyzed by the public        
either with Web-based portal tools or via a RESTful API passing data as         
json text.  He is currently working with the County of San Mateo Open           
Data portal, data.smcgov.org, to publish public data locked into legacy         
platforms on the Open Data Web site.
