Thinking about Opening up a Free to use Jenkins Server

Hello Everyone,
Us here at the Pinoy Gamer's Dev team have been thinking and we would like to open up a Jenkins server for plugin developers. You would just need to fill out a little application as to why you wanted to use it and we would either accept or deny you based on that. Jenkins is an automated compiler/packager that you can use to automatically build/package the latest dev source for your plugins whenever you push an update so that users can start using it right away. If you would be interested in a service like this please comment below.

I would highly appreciate such a service. The only thing I want is to manage the projects myself without the need of too much communication and the ability to build from pushes to github.

 

Such a service would be of great use to the developer community, I feel. For me, the ability to get users to try test/dev builds to fulfill problem/enhancement requests before an official "recommended" release would be most useful.

 

It's definitely going to have the ability to poll and build from GitHub. Build promotions will be in there as well

 

How about just using Travis CI? Free CI hosting and testing, all you need is a free GitHub account and to have your code on it. I've yet to set up my plugin on there but looks easy to do, I'm already on GitHub as is.

 

I could offer this if you guys wanted, I am installing Jenkins on my vps later tonight anyway.

 

The premise sounds interesting for plugin development. I would however be more interested in learning how to integrate a Jenkins server into my workflow. Perhaps a tutorial aimed at plugin developers would be helpful as well?
