Google Summer of Code 2016 - Jenkins

I’m a second year Computer Science and IT student in NUI Galway. I’m experienced in Java, C, JavaScript and the MEAN webstack among other things. I finished first year with a first class honour and an overall average of 96%. I’ve a portfolio website at http://david-byrne.github.io/ which I developed myself..

I’m interested in contributing to open-source projects so the Summer of Code seems like a great opportunity. Some of the projects I’d be interested in include Jenkins Web Interface improvements and working on the Update Center 2.0. I haven’t used Jenkins in any of my projects yet but I’d definitely look into setting it up and trying it out if I’m selected.

Hello, David! Nice to meet you! I also apply to Jenkins for GSoC this year. Although, as I see, you have good experience, I would still suggest you get some experience with Jenkins before writing a proposal. To better prepare for the process and increase your chances to be selected, I would suggest to find some areas of improvement in Jenkins on which you would like to work and discuss them on this mailing list. You may write your proposal draft and get mentors' feedback and suggestions. They are very responsive are eager to help applicants. You may take a look at other students' discussions to get a better sense of the process. Finally, there are office hours where you can discuss details and your personal questions.

Good luck with the process!

Hi David,

I've added potential mentors to Cc just to ping them.
I was expecting to discuss the project ideas with you at GSoC Office hours, but you have not shown up there.
BTW, we are having another meeting on Wednesday.

Did you have a chance to try Jenkins a bit? Is there a particular improvement you would like to make?

Best regards,
Oleg
