[ee4j-build] Built team meeting notes, April 25, 2018

[Ed Bratt <ed.bratt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here are my notes from today's build team meeting (April 25, 2018)

Yamini, working on OpenMQ tests. Created local Jenkins instance to experiment with. dockerized build/test. Working to make tests run in parallel. Needs docker plugin.

Denis reported that Eclipse is moving to a Docker/K8S CICD system -- coming, Jenkins Enterprise installed on week May 7. Following week to get early docker adopters. Improve scaleability. Recommended we subscribe to cbi-dev eclipse mailing list cross-project-issues-dev:

• https://accounts.eclipse.org/mailing-list/cbi-dev
• https://accounts.eclipse.org/mailing-list/cross-project-issues-dev

Arindam -- blocker -- connection issues, was intermittent. now happening with greater frequency. Tried a couple of workaround, but no love yet. Has a bug opened, but not much demonstrable progress. Will review instance deployments. This is stalling work progress.

Discussed Dmitry's issue about Parent POM https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=533955. Eclipse is looking into resolution of this and providing a top-level instance solution.

General status -- lots of code in flight but still lots of work to do. As more code is contributed, we may need to find a way to scale-up help requests (sometimes these take a long time due to time-zone differences).
