Hi Jenkins community!
My name is Piranaavei, a Software Engineering student with hands-on
experience in JavaScript, Java, Go, Docker, and Kubernetes.
I am interested in contributing to Jenkins under GSoC 2026,
specifically the “Retool Jenkins.io Contributor Spotlight website” project.
To get started with the Jenkins community, I have already:
- Set up the jenkins.io project locally using Docker
- Identified and reported a UI bug (Issue #8976 - Avatar alignment
issue in the Team section) - Submitted a fix via Pull Request resolving the avatar vertical
alignment issue in the Team section
I would like to:
- Understand how the Contributor Spotlight page is currently implemented
- Know the starting point (repository, issues, setup guide)
- Find newcomer-friendly issues I can work on to get more familiar
with the codebase
I am actively exploring the codebase and look forward to contributing
more to the Jenkins ecosystem.
Any guidance or mentoring would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
