Hi there

This seemed to be a calm week, though Jonathan lit up my Perl 6 feed.

BTW I am looking for examples on how Jenkins is being used. If you have any examples you can share. e.g. you can send me your Jenkinsfile for private reading or you know about an open source project with an interesting Jenkinsfile, please let me know!

Enjoy your week!
