[ee4j-build] EE4J CI/CD roadmap (JIPP provisioning, etc)

[Frederic Gurr <frederic.gurr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We would like to give an update about the current status and the roadmap
for the next weeks in the light of yesterday's presentation.

Current status:
 * 39 projects EE4J projects
 * 12 projects have their own Jenkins instance
 *  9 projects have a JIPP on our old infra
 *  3 projects have a JIPP on our new infra (CJE)
 *  6 projects have a working build/release pipeline

All projects that don't have a JIPP yet, will get a JIPP on the new
infra. We are currently working out a few issues to be able to provide
the environment to deploy artifacts to OSSRH/Maven Central on the new infra.

The provisioning process involves quite a few manual steps (including
creating GitHub bot users, setting up OSSRH accounts, etc.) and is
therefore people-bound.

We will aim to provision five new Jenkins instances per week, starting
next week (Week 38).

If projects need to be prioritized, this can be incorporated, but will
affect other projects (provisioning will be pushed back).

Please see this Google spreadsheet for status and planned provisioning week:

Please let us know, if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards,

Fred
