[edit] Me
I am a founder of Zutubi, makers of the Pulse continuous integration server.
[edit] Environments
Pulse is primarily Java, so that is where I spend my time these days. Previously I have worked in various languages, most notably C (Linux device drivers and accompanying SDK) and C++ (virtual machine). I was lucky enough to be exposed to an environment with automated testing with builds on checkin from the start of my professional career.
[edit] Topics
My interest in CITCON is from both ends: as a vendor and as a developer always looking to improve out own processes. Topics of interest to me include:
- What sucks about CI? That is, how does it cost you time or effort that it shouldn't, or how isn't it saving you effort that it could?
- The role of SCMs in CI, and how next generation SCMs can influence and/or advance CI.
- How different are the skills required for a great QA engineer as opposed to a great developer?
- Testing and prototyping.
