h1. Overview
One of the main goals of the Open Planets Foundation is to *SUPPORT* the development of maintainable "turn-key" digital preservation software. To this extent we recommend that a simplistic well utilised strategy be employed when developing software, keeping use of many disparate services to a minimum where possible.

h2. Continuous Integration, Travis & Jenkins
{note:title=ToDo CI documentation}
Document the OPF's combined use of Travis CI and the Jenkins server to provide continuous integration services.
* Travis is a free CI service for GitHub hosted projects and uses VMs to build open source projects. It might not be suitable for large projects due to resource descriptions but will be suitable for most start up projects.
* The OPF also provides a Jenkins server that can be used for more established projects. A project must build on Travis and a move to the Jenkins software is part of the best practise and curation process.
