I’d like to mentor again as well.
I’m also quite interested in the project idea that @basil had suggested for automated updates of plugin build metadata. See the following page for his idea
The list that is included in that project idea is a very nice extension of the much shorter list that is included in the “Improve a Plugin” developer tutorial at
I think there is a lot of potential in that project idea, though it will need much more investigation and exploration by Google Summer of Code candidates before they could create a project proposal.
One idea suggested as an implementation technology is OpenRewrite. I believe that we’ve seen at least one case where someone used OpenRewrite to submit a change to a Jenkins plugin.
@MarkEWaite I would really love to be a co-mentor for the automated updates of plugin build metadata project. I can draft a prosoal for it (or with you) with you don’t mind.
Thank you Kris, We are thrilled to have you as org admin & mentor again

Welcome to this community @Lovakush
That’s fantastic news! 
Everything is calm because of the holiday season, but you can expect news from the admins in January.
In the meantime, don’t hesitate to watch the latest meeting video, and/or interact on the various GSoC subjects which are still discussed in this forum.

As for starting a contribution to Jenkins, let me quote @julieheard 
Here is a few links that hopefully will be useful to you:
- Contribute code - How to contribute to Jenkins
- jenkins/CONTRIBUTING.md at 03c380f6c451a1a05e3b0a8471f3aa06a24c3baa · jenkinsci/jenkins · GitHub - This is more detail on how to contribute, a bit more technical than the previous link
So I would read through those websites, then take a look at the issues Jira. When you have picked a task to work on, make a PR and wait for feedback/approvals.
Hi @berviantoleo If possible please open a PR to add your name as a mentor to the project at GitHub - jenkins-infra/jenkins.io: A static site for the Jenkins automation server. We will take things from there. Appreicate your interest in mentoring!
Hi @ssbostan If possible pleaes open a PR to add your name as mentor for the project ideas you are interested in at GitHub - jenkins-infra/jenkins.io: A static site for the Jenkins automation server, so that we can take things from there officially. Thanks for your interest!
Hi @Lovakush If possible please add your name as a mentor to the project idea page by a pull request at GitHub - jenkins-infra/jenkins.io: A static site for the Jenkins automation server, so we can take things from there officially. Thanks for your interest in mentoring!

So you can add your name here to any one of these projects: jenkins.io/content/projects/gsoc/2023/project-ideas at master · jenkins-infra/jenkins.io · GitHub. Then add an adoc with your username as the file name at jenkins.io/content/_data/authors at master · jenkins-infra/jenkins.io · GitHub. If you would like to add an image to your profile as well, you can add it at jenkins.io/content/images/avatars at master · jenkins-infra/jenkins.io · GitHub. All should ideally be done in the same pull request.

Greetings, everyone!
I am Freyam
I am thrilled to be a part of the Jenkins community. I have been a dedicated user of Jenkins for some time now and have indeed come to appreciate the value of automation in my projects. I am now excited to give back to this wonderful community by becoming a mentor for the upcoming Google Summer of Code.
As a former GSoC student at Dask in 2021 and a mentor at Joomla in 2022, I believe that Jenkins would be the perfect organization for me to continue my journey this year.
Can someone kindly guide me on how to get in touch with the right person regarding this opportunity? I have reviewed the project ideas and the mentor guidelines and would love to chat with the existing mentors.
I have created a PR ([GSoC 2023] [Mentor] Freyam Mehta by freyam · Pull Request #5905 · jenkins-infra/jenkins.io · GitHub) expressing my interest in mentoring one of the following projects in the upcoming GSoC:

Looking forward to a great time

Hey @poddingue, thanks for the welcome!
I have already completed the formal procedure and submitted a PR [GSoC 2023] [Mentor] Freyam Mehta by freyam · Pull Request #5905 · jenkins-infra/jenkins.io · GitHub. I am currently awaiting a review of it.

All is good then, the admins will keep you posted. 
Review completed. See comments in the pull request for the optional item and to confirm that you are OK that I cropped the picture you provided.
Hi @Lovakush This thread is for potential mentors and not for potential GSoC participants. For more info regarding how to start your GSoC 2023 journey properly as a contributor please head to our Gitter channel dedicated to contributors at jenkinsci/gsoc-sig - Gitter. If you would like to start your application process early you can start by contributing via pull requests. We will not be contacting you regarding mentorship anymore since it appears there has been a mistake. Ideally you should have a few pull requests submitted and reviewed by the time the GSoC application opens for contributors in March 2023.
Hi Everyone,
We (org admins) have set up a session for next Thursday, January 19, 2023 @ 4pm UTC to provide insight into the role of a mentor; the time and skill commitment needed to be successful in this program and we’ll answer any questions. We would like this to be a collaborative session so come with your questions.

Hi @HumbleFool Most of our discussion with GSoC contributor hopefuls takes place at our Giiter channel. It would be great if you could introduce yourself to the community there for us to get to know you better. We can then give you recommendations about quick starts there.
