Let me first apologize that it's taken me this long to send an update to the dev list. Transparency is an incredible important facet of the Jenkins project for me, so this is long overdue :)
At the Jenkins World Contributor Summit I presented two (related) visions I have been developing for some time now. One, the Jenkins Enhancement Proposal, you should have already seen being discussed on this list. The other was the "Jenkins Software Foundation." The presentation is linked below[0], but a couple salient points: * Provide a legal identity which would allow for signing of contracts and other agreements. For reference, Kohsuke, Dean, and I personally signed the agreement with Microsoft for our Azure partnership. * Create a clear, and well-understood, path for larger organizations to participate in the project. There are numerous other good points, but those will be more thoroughly documented in a JEP at a later date :) The update I wanted to give is: we are still very much in the *research phase*. I have had some productive discussions with our pals at the Linux Foundation (LF) about what our values are as a community, and what we're trying to accomplish. LF is preparing some draft charters/governance documents based on that feedback. Additionally, I'm tasked with creating a realistic budget for what would account for all of the project's infrastructure, outreach, and other costs, such that we can fold that in as well. The overarching goal being to create something which reflects who we are and what we need, rather than trying to mold the Jenkins project into something it's not. I'm happy to discuss this more if anybody has questions, feel free to jump into the #jenkins-community channel on Freenode :) [0] https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1E3sUlRnfG-Dpmj-Lwrse56S0aUY3PBoGlenU5QwYCXg/edit?usp=sharing Cheers - R.
