Hi everyone,
I’m Arpan Chakraborty, a 2nd year B.Tech CSE student from Adamas University, Kolkata. I want to express my interest in the “Use OpenTelemetry for Jenkins Jobs on ci.jenkins.io” project for GSoC 2026.
I have been actively contributing to jenkinsci/email-ext-plugin — 2 PRs already merged (#1493, #1503), and 3 PRs with all CI checks passing (#1494, #1505, #1507). I have also submitted my GSoC proposal for the Jenkins OAuth SMTP project.
I have cloned the opentelemetry-plugin repository and am beginning to explore the codebase. I would love to connect with the mentors @shivaylamba @krisstern @iamrajiv @chamodshehanka to understand the specific goals for this project.
Thank you! Arpan Chakraborty | GitHub: ArpanC6
