The creator of Jenkins discusses CI/CD and balancing business with open source

On today’s episode we speak with Kohsuke Kawaguchi, who won the Google-O’Reilly Open Source award for his work on the Hudson/Jenkins project. Kohsuke began his career at Sun Microsystems. He shares insights on the balance between community-driven open source and the need to monetize through enterprise services.

In 2010 Kohsuke founded InfraDNA, which merged with Cloudbees shortly after. In 2014 he become the CTO of Cloudbees.

Shout to Mossmyr for contributing a question that's now part of our CI/CD Collective: Is there a way to call a Jenkins Shared Library method from another Jenkins Shared Library?
