GSoC 2026 Introduction: OpenTelemetry Integration for CI Jobs - Omar Gharieb

Hi everyone, and specifically @shivaylamba, @krisstern, @rajivranjansingh, and @chamodperera,

​I’m Omar, a Computer Engineering student, and I just officially submitted my GSoC proposal for the “OpenTelemetry Integration for CI Jobs” project.

​I’m a daily Linux user and I really want to dive deep into DevOps and observability this summer. I’ve already started reading up on the OpenTelemetry documentation, but I was wondering if there is a specific part of the ci.jenkins.io architecture, or a specific repository, that you would recommend I study first so I can hit the ground running?

​Thanks for your time, and I look forward to learning from the team!

​Best regards,

Omar Gharieb
