Reviving Office Hours

[Daniel Beck]

Hi everyone,

I plan to revive Office Hours, the bi-weekly meeting of Jenkins users and developers to learn more about Jenkins.

What is 'Office Hours,' you ask? Quoting https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Office+Hours:

> Jenkins Office Hours is a regular online meeting to bootstrapping Jenkins developers and users. Depending on the day, it has one of the following goals:
>
> • User-focused sessions provide real-time support for both new and experienced users in getting Jenkins bootstrapped, solving particular workflow problems, debugging issues, etc. …
>
> • Developer-focused sessions help spread plugin and core development knowledge around new and experienced Jenkins developers. Including bug hunting and analysis, pair-programming, sharing ideas. …
>
> For 60 minutes every week, a member of the developer community volunteers to host a session discussing hacking on a specific project or subystem in the plugin ecosystem or within core itself. …

Please provide suggestions for topics, both for users and developers. What would you be interested in learning or discussing during Office Hours?

Or maybe you're interested in presenting, e.g. a cool new plugin you wrote?

Respond in this thread so we can get Office Hours going again!

Daniel

I'm in. It is a good idea even though I've never been part of any

Thanks

+1 for reviving Office Hours. It would be great to have them again.

Suggestions:

• Make Office Hours more public (announce them in Jenkins blogs, Twitter, etc.)
• Probably consider a "short format" (aka Lightning talks) allowing Jenkins contributors to present particular features instead of long talks. The most of contributions are being done in existing plugins, so in such case we could find more attendees
• Probably consider moving "Ask the experts" session online (e.g. 1 session per month).

Will be very glad to listen about groovy/jelly UI magic, invisible properties, stapler-class, kind, what is deprecated and how it expected to be used.

+ 1 . I am eagerly waiting for such sessions!

How would I be able to join this? Is the speech delivered via WebEx or Video Conferencing?

Office Hours are generally in a Google Hangout. You can find the link on the wiki page:

If I recall, Google Hangouts are limited to 15 participants.

Has that ever been an issue?

The limit of Google Hangout (Office Hours) is reached!

I've also failed to attach my video recorder. Probably the best way would be to conduct a recap of this session later when we have a stable environment for meetings.

I'm really sorry about that! I was under the impression that the hangout supported ~15 people and when ~8 showed up thought that there was plenty of space. I learned my lesson, and the next office hour will definitely be a Hangout on Air.

Most of the office hour was my presentation on Stapler, and I'll annotate and upload those slides so you'll have them at least. I'm also available on IRC much of the time, so if you have questions on those, feel free to ask me there.

Thanks for everyone who attended, and again, my apologies to everyone who couldn't -- the next office hour will be better.

I've never tried it with a large meeting, but maybe it is worth trying

I updated the slides for last week's office hour based on feedback I received, added some annotations so they're hopefully useful without my accompanying explanation, and uploaded them to the wiki:

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/pages/worddav/preview.action?fileName=20150729-DanielBeck-StaplerForPluginDevelopers.pdf&pageId=57181939

There'll be an office hour next Wednesday as well; I'll announce the topic later this week.

I forgot about the office hours last week, but thanks for the slides — I
learned a few new things!
