The last week the Jenkins project has reached a miletone release — Version 1.500. That's no 1.5 nor 1.5.0. That's the 501st release since its inception, counting all the way up from 1.0, 1.1 to 1.500.

We'll be celebrating this release in the upcoming FOSDEM conference in Brussels, but I wanted to thank everyone for making this great community possible by participating and using it.

Despite all the distances we've thus far come, there are still a lot of work to be done, both in the core and plugins, so we look forward to keep on keeping on in the coming years.

So here is to the next 500 release!
