Attending: Jean-Marc Meessen, Mark Waite, Kris Stern, Dheeraj Singh Jodha, Utkarsh Tiwari, Vihaan Thora, Hamees Sayed

Agenda:

- Questions from potential GSoC contributors.
  - [Dheeraj]: Can we also discuss here the projects that haven’t been selected yet, but are under discussion for now (e.g., Plugin Health Score)?
  - What’s the plugin health score project idea?
    - Jenkins administrators want to know the condition of a plugin before installing it
    - Plugin maintainers want to know the attributes of a well maintained plugin
      - Want to improve the health of their own plugin

    - What are the attributes of a well maintained plugin?
      - (the “probes” of values) - with stats

    - What criteria could we automate to assess plugin health?
      - [“Contributing to Open Source”](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PKYIpPlRVGsBqrz0Ob1Cv3cefOZ5j2xtGZdWs27kLuw/edit#) document provides ideas
      - Proof of concept (PoC) ideas to assess plugin health
      - Are dependencies current?
      - How many open issues are there?
      - What is the distribution of those values across all the plugins

    - How will we show the results to the administrators?
      - Plugin site?
      - Jenkins plugin manager?

    - How will we show/present the results to maintainers?
      - Checks from the buildPlugin on [ci.jenkins.io](http://ci.jenkins.io)
      - Plugin site?
      - Jenkins plugin manager?
