Hi Alyssa,

To a large degree, this can be decided by the organizers of the Jenkins Contributor Summit. Physical space has been allocated at the cdCon venue for an in-person Jenkins Contributor Summit. However, organizers may wish to enable remote contributors to participate as well, through zoom, etc.

Apologies if I'm way off track or asking something there's a well known answer to, but:

Is there a mailing list or group for end users who are willing to test incremental builds of plugins and report back?

In this instance, I'm at the point where I'm ready to release the XTrigger-lib-related plugins (urltrigger, fstrigger, ivytrigger etc) which have been updated to use the newly-released XTrigger-API plugin, which in turn has been updated to use the EnvInject-API plugin instead of EnvInject lib.  In theory, this is a non-breaking change, as no functionality of configuration should be changing, but obviously under the hood, it's pretty significant.

I'm updating the versions of the plugins from 0.xx to 1.xx to signify a major update, but is there anything else I can do to lessen any potential shock to end-users?  If an 'early adopter' group exists, that would be ideal, but any other suggestions would be welcome.

I think you just want to use the users mailing list to try and find interested users.

And for lessening the impact, you may want to use an experimental release so they're only visible to users who opt-in:

You can post on community.Jenkins.io and see if anyone will try it out

If there’s bug fixes happening posting on the issues and asking for people to try it

Apart from that there isn’t anything and you generally won’t get feedback till it breaks something

Tim's experience matches mine.  The people most likely to help with testing an early release of a plugin are the people directly involved in any bugs or issues resolved in the upcoming release.  Even there the participation rate (for me) is usually less than 50%.  Others typically do not test a plugin pre-release.

If the plugin is not yet using incrementals, be sure that you enable incrementals so that it is easier for configuration as code users to decide to test a pre-release.

Hi Kara,

per discussion at Jenkins Adv & Outreach meeting today, we'd like to accept CDF's offer to host a Jenkins contributor summit along with cdCon in Austin, TX.  I'm sure we'll talk more on upcoming deliverables, etc.

Hi Victor,

apologies for the delay in response. I was informed yesterday the Jenkins contributor 'eta' is Friday 10 June. Official announcement will be made next week when the agenda is published. 

Btw - congrats on being a speaker at cdCon.

Looking forward to seeing you in June.
