At the Silicon Valley Code Camp 2009 I gave a talk called Extending CruiseControl.NET through the use of plugins. I discussed the necessary steps and illustrated with an example ISourceControl provider using the LinqToTwitter OS project on Codeplex. The provider polls a configurable Twitter account looking for Tweets that that start with “CI:” allowing the Tweeter to trigger a build of the project simply be tweeting something like: “CI:Start the build”.
It’s a simple example but illustrates how easy it is to create CC.NET plugins an extend the platform to uses beyond classic Continuous Integration.
Here is a link to the Starter Kit. Btw, you will need to update the ThoughtWorks assembly references to match your build of CCNET.
