Contributing GSoC

Hello Jenkins Community,
I’m Kathy, a recent IT graduate with experience in software development from internships and a current technical job that involves less coding. My techinical skills include front-end development, C++, Java, AWS, Python, and AI. I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute to the Jenkins Tekton Client Plugin project to improve its cloud-native CI/CD interoperability and user experience.

I admire Jenkins for its powerful automation features and want to help enhance its functionality. This project is a great chance for me to get back into coding and improve my Java skills. I also look forward to learning more about being an open source contributor from the community.

Just want to say Hi here before submit the proposal :slight_smile:

Hello and welcome to this community, @Kathy_Z. :waving_hand:

To start interacting with the project, I’ll quote Mark Waite:

The project overview page includes the code card with links to two of the GitHub organizations we use. Many Jenkins components track their issues in GitHub. Good first issues are a great place to start.
The Hacktoberfest 2024 blog post includes a link to the Hacktoberfest events page. That page includes a link to the Jenkins Jira issue tracker and its friendly issues report. They are also a good place to start.
