Jenkins : Hudson Bay Area Hackathon 2.0

What

Time for another Hudson Bay Area Hackathon/Meetup! Back in July of 2009, we had the first Hudson Bay Area Hackathon - now, it's time for the second. The plan is to meet up, hang out, chat, hack code, and have fun.

Depending on the size of the group we might split into two groups, those hacking on Hudson and those hacking with Hudson. There currently isn't a set agenda however

If you are planning to attend, you can:

• RSVP below
• RSVP on Facebook (day one, day two)

Hacker Dojo By Car

Hacker Dojo is located at 140 South Whisman Road in Mountain View, CA., if you're driving southbound on Highway 101 you can exit West Valley Freeway (85), if you're driving northbound on 101, you can exit on Southbay Freeway (237). See the map for more exact directions to the venue.

Hacker Dojo By Train

You can get near (1 mile) the Hacker Dojo by taking Caltrain to the Mountain View station, from there your best bet is to take the Lightrail to the Evelyn Station and then probably walk/hitchhike/cartwheel the last block or two. It is also a very nice walk/bike directly from the Mountain View station if you don't mind the 1 mile commute.

Oracle Santa Clara Campus By Car

See the map. There aren't enough parking near the SCA7 building, but there are two large parking spaces north and south of the campus that you can park.

Oracle Santa Clara Campus By Train/Bus

VTA Light Rail Orchard station is "nearby", although you have to walk a bit. Light rail connects to Caltrain in Mountain View. Kohsuke would be happy to drop you off at the VTA/Caltrain stations on the way back. There are two VTA bus lines (#321 and #58) that serve nearby.

Agenda

As we get closer to the Hackathon, we're hoping to put together a list of low-hanging fruit or paper cuts - small changes/fixes that can be accomplished in a short time. We may also want to tackle some bigger challenges. We'll compile that list here.

Saturday Agenda (please edit!)

Miscellaneous Topics

Do you have a topic you want discussed but don't want a whole slot on the agenda? List those topics here!

• How do we do integration testing of multiple plugins that work together?
• Can write Hudson tests as TestNG instead of just JUnit?
• Any plans for TestNG support in Hudson?

RSVP

We will need a few people to help clean-up after the event Saturday and pitch in with a few logistical needs (fetching lunch, drinks, etc). If you can spare a few cycles, please sign up below
