Get an overview of Zuul and learn about:
* Project gating
* Speculative testing
* Cross-project dependencies
* Integration with code review systems
* Testing in clouds
* Multi-node testing
* Central vs distributed job definitions
* Running Zuul at enterprise scale

Johannes Foufas will talk about:

About the speakers:
James Blair is the project lead for the Zuul project gating system, and a
founding member of the OpenDev collaboratory team. As a sysadmin and hacker he gets to write elegant code and then try to make it work in the real world. He started Acme Gating to provide enterprise Zuul support and services.

Johannes Foufas is a senior principal software engineer at Volvo Cars, known for his significant contributions to the field of automotive software engineering. His expertise particularly shines in the area of continuous integration toolchains for embedded software development. Zuul was implemented under his guidance and enables continuous building, testing, and deployment of iterative code changes across multiple projects, streamlining the software development process at Volvo Cars. Moreover, Foufas' innovative spirit is evident in his contributions to the field of automotive technology through various patents. He holds patents related to methods and systems for controlling fuel injection, but also gas flow control, in combustion engines, showcasing his ability to address complex challenges in vehicle performance and efficiency.

About Zuul:
Zuul is a Project Gating System, or a CI/CD system like no other.
It brings multiple projects together to test the future as if it were
the present.
It spans code review systems and clouds. It uses Ansible for
orchestration and has no single points of failure. It tests some of
the largest Open Source projects in the world and can run on your
laptop.
