Jobs.7. The Review Team
The technical review process for this book was a little different to the approach taken for most books.
Rather than having one or two technical reviewers read the entire book near the end of the book writing
process, a team of volunteers from the Jenkins community, including many key Jenkins developers,
were able to read chapters as they were written. This review team was made up of the following
people: Alan Harder, Andrew Bayer, Carlo Bonamico, Chris Graham, Eric Smalling, Gregory Boissinot,
Harald Soevik, Julien Simpson, Juven Xu, Kohsuke Kawaguchi, Martijn Verberg, Ross Rowe, and Tyler
Ballance.
