A team of FreeBSD developers led by Craig Rodrigues (rodrigc@freebsd.org) has formed the jenkins-admin team (jenkins-admin@freebsd.org). They have set up the Jenkins Continuous Integration system inside the FreeBSD cluster, and are building several branches of FreeBSD. The web server which lists the builds is visible at:https://jenkins.freebsd.org.

The jenkins-admin team has plans to expand the use of Jenkins to build and test FreeBSD. The project status and future plans are listed at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/Jenkins. The team is also looking for FreeBSD developers who can help along with this effort to improve testing of FreeBSD.

The team has made a video of this talk available on YouTube. Craig’s presentation slides can be found below.
