so, i had a meeting w/the databricks guys on friday and they recommended i send an email out to the list to say 'hi' and give you guys a quick intro. :)
hi! i'm shane knapp, the new AMPLab devops engineer, and will be spending time getting the jenkins build infrastructure up to production quality. much of this will be 'under the covers' work, like better system level auth, backups, etc, but some will definitely be user facing: timely jenkins updates, debugging broken build infrastructure and some plugin support. i've been working in the bay area now since 1997 at many different companies, and my last 10 years has been split between google and palantir. i'm a huge proponent of OSS, and am really happy to be able to help with the work you guys are doing! if anyone has any requests/questions/comments, feel free to drop me a line! shane
