Hello!
I just discovered the GSoC 2025 program today and I’m really excited about the “Revamping Jenkins.io Website Success Stories Feature” project as I love UI/UX design.
I know registration opens tomorrow, and I’m wondering if it’s too late to start? I haven’t had a chance to interact with any mentors or the community yet, but I’m really eager to work on this project.
I’ve been exploring the current Jenkins Success Stories section and noticed several opportunities for improving the user experience and visual design. I’m passionate about creating intuitive interfaces that effectively showcase important content like user testimonials.
While my strongest skills are in UI/UX design, I also have coding abilities. I’m curious about the technical balance of this particular project - how much focuses on design versus implementation? This would help me highlight the most relevant skills in my proposal.
I’ve started researching the Jenkins website architecture to understand how I can best implement potential UI/UX improvements. I’d appreciate any guidance on the specific technical stack used for this particular section and what skills would be most valuable to focus on.
This is my first time applying to GSoC, so I’m honestly a bit nervous, but also super excited about the opportunity to contribute to an open-source project like Jenkins! Looking forward to learning from this community and hopefully being part of the process.
Thanks!
