might be a good project, but with that type of name, you're not going to attract customers outside the US, a good fraction of which will think drone => drone strike. the name is reserved for killer machines, see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_drone_strikes_in_Pakist... . Time to think about how silicon valley fits in with the rest of the world.

By that somewhat twisted logic bee keepers better start changing their terminology as well [1]. I'm a European and didn't even make the connection, despite being well informed and up-to-date about the state of affairs in Pakistan and elsewhere that US and friends choose to fly these machines.

Are you serious or are you just trying to write the most caricatural HN comment? Besides, I doubt this is targeted (pun intended) at people living in remote areas of Yemen or Pakistan that are typically the target of military drones.

well, I guess you're an US citizen. so you will not understand, because you're living in a bubble. and your derogative answer just shows what a person you are. perhaps I'm in Yemen and my friend was killed in a drone. how can you dare making such comments?

I'm French, born in Paris from a Dutch mom and a Syrian dad. Lived part of my childhood in Syria, France and then years in Peru where my wife's from. What were you saying again?

I'm glad to see more options becoming available for CI, especially ones that are easy to maintain and deploy. Basing Drone on Docker with few external dependencies is a plus. I'm also glad to see support for Cassandra and all the other databases.

However, I do see a lot of CI systems depend on Github as the repository, as Drone appears to do, and I would appreciate a more generic, flexible approach to that issue.

if you are an ignorant, unethical person in the US maybe, but not if you live in Yemen or Pakistan. its such a perfect illustration of how blind people can be. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/us-drone-strikes-stirrin...

This is literally the most surreal chain of comments I have ever read on HN. The word drone is not 'reserved' for anything and the rest of your attempted call to action is just bizzare.

In the non-English speaking world, the word drone has come to mean "death machine in the sky."

Not everyone speaks English. Certainly in Europe, if you ask someone what 'drone' means, not many will use the tonal definition of the term ..

we bought the drone.io domain name back before Drones were all over the news. We thought this definition of Drone, "a unit which takes commands from a primary source" made sense for a cloud-based CI solution.

Bitbucket integration should land this week. We open sourced our Go Bitbucket API which was the first step: https://github.com/drone/go-bitbucket

There is also a thread going for adding other sources: https://github.com/drone/drone/issues/10

It took about 24 hours for a GitHub enterprise patch to land, so I'm sure we'll support many other options pretty quickly.

Excellent - thanks for the info. I am more than ready to relieve Mr. Jenkins of his duties.
