Jenkins in Google Summer of Code 2023
|
This site is the new docs site currently being tested. For the actual docs in use please go to https://www.jenkins.io/doc. |
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global, online program focused on bringing students and new contributors into open source software development. GSoC Contributors work with an open source organization on a 10-22 weeks programming project under the guidance of mentors.
GSoC contributors accepted into the program receive a stipend, paid by Google, to work well-defined projects to improve or enhance the Jenkins project. In exchange, numerous Jenkins community members volunteer as "mentors" for GSoC contributors to help integrate them into the open source community and succeed in completing their projects.
GSoC 2023
We have been accepted as a Google Summer of Code mentoring org for 2023.
See our Jenkins GSoC Mentoring Org Application Form.
The selected projects are
-
GitLab Plugin Modernization with Harsh Pratap Singh as GSoC contributor.

| Every year, there are changes in how GSoC is organized. Jenkins GSoC documentation may be outdated in some places, please refer to the official GSoC website as a source of truth. Our documentation will be updated over time to reflect the changes in the GSoC program, please report any issues you discover. |

The following checklists and documents describe the role.
Contacts
-
We use the GSoC SIG for communications about GSoC. Projects may also have their own mailing lists, chats and meetings. See details on project pages.
-
We use Discourse for discussions. This is the recommended channel for communications
-
There is also a GSoC Gitter channel for real-time communications, but it is better to use Discourse to request technical feedback or to have long discussions
-
For private matters such as communication difficulties with mentors, GSoC contributors, or Org Admins, please use the this group email.
GSoC Discourse
Public communication channel: GSoC Discourse.
The purpose of GSoC Discourse is for all public communications on GSoC such as new mentor and new GSoC contributor introductions, project proposal questions and discussions, process and timeline related questions.
Chats
-
GSoC Gitter channel for organizational topics related to Jenkins in GSoC
-
Project-specific chats, see project and project idea pages
-
Common developer chats for technical topics
Office hours
Although we use Discourse as the main communication channel, we also have regular "office hours" video calls. During these time slots Jenkins GSoC org admins and mentors are available for any GSoC-related questions.
-
Schedule: weekly 30 minutes meeting. Office hours will be held on Thursdays at 16:00 UTC. Use the Jenkins event calendar to view the meeting time in your own time zone.
-
Meetings are commonly recorded on-demand and posted here.
This meeting will be used for Q&A with GSoC applicants/contributors and mentors before the announcement of accepted projects as well as during the GSoC program. You can add the office hours to your calendar when you visit the Jenkins event calendar. More slots may be added on-demand, e.g. for project-specific discussions.
In addition to these organization-wide meetings, each GSoC project has regular meetings during community bonding and coding phases. See the project pages for the schedule.
