Hello,
We are still actively looking for Google Summer of Code projects, project reviews, and mentors.
These proposals are important. They serve as a seed for the GSoC Contributor application. In it, he/she will explain, in their own words, what the project is, the value it adds to the Jenkins project, and how they will execute (planning, deliverables, etc). The application is their key for being selected for the program by Google.
We are also looking for additional mentors (ideally three per project) to cover timezones and temporary unavailabilities.
Mentoring is an interesting and rewarding adventure. It is also a responsibility (or even a duty) for us, seasoned OSS and/or Jenkins contributors. Just remember how you felt when you started your career as a tenderfoot OSS contributor. Mentorship is stretching a helping hand to future fellow contributors.
Don't hesitate to reach out to Alyssa and myself for details or further guidance.
