Learn About Continuous Integration With Hudson Directly From the Source

Our February 9th meetup continues where Chris' discussion of test and build automation left off.

We are extremely fortunate to have Kohsuke Kawaguchi from Sun talk about continuous integration with Hudson.

For those that don't know, Hudson is an open-source continuous integration tool written in Java, which runs in any servlet container (deploys as a simple .war file) and integrates with SCM (CVS, Subversion, GIT, etc), Ant, Maven, as well as arbitrary shell scripts/commands. Hudson also has a very extensive repository of 3rd-party plugins.

Kohsuke spoke about CI & Hudson at Java One 2009 and won Java One 2008 Duke's Choice Award for it, so you can be sure it will be worth your while to hear Kohsuke provide an overview of CI, explain what Hudson is, discuss its benefits/features, and offer some guidance on Hudson's best practices and use-cases.

Note, this meeting is taking place at our new venue sponsor: SUPINFO of San Francisco at 2738 Hyde St (between Beach and North Point Streets, near Cable Car Turntable).

Pizzas for this event will be sponsored by Diana Henninger from TEKsystems and refreshments will be brought in by Gerry Cohen from Guidewire Software!

Be sure to stick around until the end to get a shot at winning books and other interesting goodies from Sun, O'Reilly, Packt Pub, as well as a copy of IntelliJ IDEA from JetBrains.
