[GSoC 2018] - Preliminary announcement

[Oleg Nenashev]

Hi all,

I am preparing to the launch of Google Summer of Code 2018 in the Jenkins project. As in 2016/2017, we will be looking for mentors. It is critical to have a diverse number of proposal so that the Jenkins Project could get accepted this year, so I want to start it early this year.

GSoC is a pretty big deal for mentors (several hours per week), but it is possible to get a full-time student working on your project for almost 4 months. Mentorship does not require deep knowledge of Jenkins development itself, because there will be advisors around. So any contributor can participate if he has interest in it and opportunity to dedicate enough time.

Would somebody be interested to be a mentor? If yes, just respond to this thread.

Useful links:

• GSoC 2018 timeline
  
• GSoC 2017 announcement with details
  
• GSoC 2016 project idea examples
• GSoC Mentor Guide
  

More documentation will be published this month if there is an interest in the community.

Best regards,
Oleg

I would like to renew this experience. You can count me in as a mentor.

Where should we propose and discuss project ideas? I suggest a page on the Wiki like GSoC 2016 project idea examples.
I have a few ideas already:

• Improvements to workspace data retention feature (aka automatic workspace clean up)
• Erase  builds older than X days of builds but always keep the last Y builds regardless of how old the builds are
  
• Erase the external workspaces in accordance with the workspace retention policy
  
• Summary Report plugin workflow compatibility
• Speed improvements to the ATH (like use a dockerized jenkins instead of restarting jenkins for every test, but I am sure there are many ideas here)

Count me in, for Jenkins Configuration as Code

[Oleg Nenashev]

Hi,

I suggest discussing the ideas in a Google Doc.
Wiki is fine, but it is complicated to handle the feedback there.
I have started https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q2p_XZEdbkcVDMpEPTtjPS15i2Oq3CQgH_geJjPhofY/edit?usp=sharing for now, so please feel free to propose your project ideas there.

Once the ideas are finalized, I will be moving them to the jenkins.io website.

BR, Oleg

Hi all,

So we already have a set of project ideas, but we have only 3 potential mentors who stepped forward. IMHO it is not enough to be accepted to GSoC, so in the current state we will unlikely apply.

We will review the ideas status at the next Governance meeting on Jan 17 and decide whether it makes sense to apply (application deadline is Jan 23). If somebody is interested to be a mentor, please do not hesitate to respond to this thread or reach out to me privately if needed.

Best regards,
Oleg

Hi Anubha,

Yes, just put them to the Google doc!

I have also added the "Mentor self-introduction" section to the document so that mentors can share some information about them. It may be especially useful for potential mentors coming from other organizations/communities.

Best regards,

Oleg

I would be happy to help as a mentor on this project idea.

[Oleg Nenashev]

Great! I will update both project ideas on the website by Tuesday EoD.
@Krishna, have you already reviewed the existing Jenkins Test Frameworks (e.g. Acceptance Test Harness). I think it could be a good start for your project idea regarding UI testing automation.

Hi Oleg and everyone,

I have added a new plugin proposal to the list of 2018 GSoC proposals.

The proposal is to create a Discard Builds Step Plugin, which would give users great flexibility in managing their build histories.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Martin

[Oleg Nenashev]

Hi all,

FYI we have been accepted to GSoC 2018.
Soon everybody interested will be added as mentor to the Jenkins organization

Thanks again to everybody who created project proposals!
We are still ready to accept more project ideas, so feel free to create new ones

BR, Oleg

Hi all,

I would like to announce another project for students has been proposed for GSoC, the Discard Builds Step Plugin. It is a plugin that would makes it easy for users to implement their own data retention policy for build history, artifacts and workspaces (internal and external) by making build discard a simple pipeline build step.

This project is also in need of a second mentor, so if you are interested in mentoring do not hesitate to contact me.

Best Regards,
Martin

[vidhi jindal]

Hi, 

I want to be a mentor. I cannot access this link. Is there any new link?

[Oleg Nenashev]

Hi Vidhi,

Sorry for the response delay. I see you were able to update the document.

It is a bit late for joining the mentor team, we are at the student selection phase. And the most of the mentor teams are already formed. OTOH, we still welcome people to join as experts and mentors if they are interested an existing project and can contribute to it with their expertise.

Could you please update the document to reflect your Jenkins experience and clarify which project ideas you would like to work on as a mentor?

Thanks in advance,
Oleg
