“I am excited to kick off the Jenkins World tour,” said Kawaguchi. “JUC this year is bigger than ever, and we've got a range of attendees from core project developers to vendors in the Jenkins ecosystem. Between them all, there will be opportunities to learn about different topics, from new features in Jenkins to best practices in large-scale Jenkins usage. It's a great opportunity to match faces with people who, to date, we have only known by names.“
"I am thrilled to be speaking to the highly respected Jenkins Community. More than ever, DevOps and continuous delivery enable organizations to out-experiment the competitors in the marketplace, quickly and safely,” said Kim. “Not only do customers get the features they want more quickly, we enable organizational learning and pay back the business faster. All of which help our organizations win."
The CD Summit will be happening concurrently, and will offer business leaders, DevOps masters and IT executives the opportunity to bring evolutionary changes to people, processes and technologies to achieve all of the benefits of continuous delivery. Forrester analyst Kurt Bittner will address the CD Summit in his keynote address, “The Enterprise Transformation to Continuous Delivery.” Bittner, along with Kim, will also participate at the CD Summit in a panel discussion about getting started with continuous delivery and DevOps. Attendees of either conference will be able to cross-attend sessions at the other conference, making registration for either conference a true two-for-one event.
