Jenkins-CI: automating lab processes

Our group organizes public Science Cafes where people from Maastricht University can see the research it is involved in. Yesterday it was my turn again, and I gave a presentation showing the BiGCaT and eNanoMapper Jenkins-CI installations (set up by Nuno) which I have been using for a variety of processes which Jenkins conveniently runs based on input it gets.

For example, I have it compile and run test suits for a variety of software projects (like the CDK, NanoJava), but also have it build R packages, and even daily run Andra Waagmeester's code to create RDF for WikiPathways. And the use of Jenkins-CI is not limited to dry lab processes: Ioannis Moutsatsos recently showed nice work at Novartis that uses Jenkins for high-throughput screening and data/image analysis.
