Hudson's new life : On a New Road

Hudson's new life	Tuesday April 20, 2010
I went to a little going away party for Kohsuke Kawaguchi. He's the fellow that started (and has written most of the code for) Hudson, a really great continuous integration server. It's totally extensible and can do everything from automating builds, running test suites, collecting benchmarks, monitoring development status/health to monitoring any kind of external execution (like procmail). He started working on Hudson as a spare-time personal project, then it became his day job (one of his day jobs, anyway). It's changed the way that I and many others do software development. This isn't the end of Hudson, it's a new birth: KK's starting a new company around Hudson. You can contact him at his personal site

Everytime I had an interview, when they asked me what was my dreamed job, I replied: to work at Sun Microsystems. I was shocked when it was bought by Oracle, because I knew this was going to happen, and I'm sad about what is going to happen with Java One. Anyway I hope that all these new companies r as big as Sun one day, defending the same cause!

I'm extremely disappointed about what is going on at Sun. Since it has been bought by oracle, Sun's logo has been disappearing from all the projects. Instead of becoming a subsidiary it's just being dismembered, profitable parts absorbed and non profitable dismissed. Sun has given a lot to the opensource community, oracle has not. As a matter of fact, oracle's greatest involvement with the opensource community is ripping off RHEL and rebranding it without contributing anything back. As many others, I was very happy to participate in Sun's projects even just with bug reports and beta testing and, as for many others, this activity it actually costs me more than purchasing a commercial software. I got involved to give something back to a company that gave me a lot, I don't feel the same for oracle. All this is really sad, isn't it?

Kohsuke is a unique talent, and has given so much good stuff to the Java community. Hudson is a great example of his work. I've always suspected that he is really is a small team of exceptional engineers, not just one individual, given the amount of work he has produced. I hope he does well!
