Webinar on contributing to Jenkins project

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi there!

I hope you are doing well. My name is Abhishek, a junior from India and I am an Open Source enthusiast. Open Source culture has grown a lot over the past few years among students, especially due to programs like Google Summer of Code, Outreachy, etc. 

We’re a team of past Google Summer of Code Mentors, Org Admins, & Students who believe that Open Source is for everyone and students should contribute irrespective of whether they are selected for these programs or not. Keeping that in mind, we’re starting a Spring of Code Program to encourage open source contributions among students. 

We have received over 1000+ registrations so far in just under a day of opening up the forms to the students!

It’s a 4 week-long series of webinars aimed to introduce students to projects, interact with maintainers, share with them the benefits of contributing along with some best practices. We have a community of over 5000 students & more than 40,000 subscribers on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyzHIYrZBplqNpKF6R3Y7JUM-iBEGbj0t).

This is to request you to take part in the program on behalf of your organisation to share with students how they can contribute to your projects via a live stream QnA session.

The agenda is going to be somewhat like this: 

* Introduction

* About the organisation & Projects

* Tech Stack Used in Projects

* Demo if applicable

* How can beginners get started with contributing

* Resources

* QnA

If you are interested, please book a time slot that works for you here: https://calendly.com/kunal_kushwaha/spring-of-code-session 

We sincerely hope you consider this invitation in helping the Open Source community grow. Looking forward to it!

Best,

Spring of Code Team

Hi Abhishek,

Thanks for reaching out! I will definitely join to present Jenkins and other Continuous Delivery Foundation projects.

Each project gets a.1 hour slit, right?

Best regards,

Oleg Nenashev

Yesterday we had a quite successful session about contributing to Jenkins at the "Code for Cause" online meetup, together with Mark Waite and Shivay Lamba. We had ~150 participants in the broadcast, and there have been almost 2000 views over the past 20 hours. There is a short overview of GSoC in the end of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivMBMuZXdBA

Thanks to Abhishek for inviting us and to Kunal for hosting the meetup!
