Jenkins GSoC

On behalf of the Jenkins GSoC org admin team and mentors, We would like to welcome Harsh Pratap Singh, Jagruti Tiwari, Vandit Singh, and Ashutosh Saxena. They will be working on Google Summer of Code projects in the Jenkins organization, and they have already done some contributions.

This year we have the following projects:

GitLab Plugin modernisation - Cleaning and modernizing the extensively used GitLab plugin.
Contributor: Harsh Pratap Singh from India.
Mentors: Mark Waite, Kris Stern, and Freyam Mehta.
Adding probes to Plugin Health Score - The first iteration of the tool provided a limited set of probes. To improve the effectiveness of the scoring system, more probes are needed.
Contributor: Jagruti Tiwari from India.
Mentors: Adrien Lecharpentier, Dheeraj Singh Jodha, and Mostafa Ashraf Mohamed.
Building jenkins.io with alternative tools - Using alternative tooling (i.e., Antora) to build the Jenkins static site and provide documentation per Jenkins version.
Contributor: Vandit Singh from India.
Mentors: Kris Stern, Rajiv Ranjan Singh, Yiming Gong, and Mark Waite.
Docker-based Jenkins quickstart examples - Provide examples, sample code, and documentation on how to start a local Jenkins instance.
Contributor: Ashutosh Saxena from India.
Mentors: Bruno Verachten, Bervianto Leo Pratama, and Saeid Bostandoust.

As part of the "GSoC Community Bonding Period" over the next few weeks, project teams will be reaching out to potential stakeholders. The purpose is to establish connections with the community to get comments regarding their project designs. If you are interested in the projects, please join discussions in the GSoC SIG and project Gitter channels, the Developer mailing lists, and project meetings once they get scheduled. Also, expect more detailed blogposts about the projects soon.
