- [**GitLab Plugin Modernization**](https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/2023/project-ideas/gitlab-plugin-modernization/)

**When?**

- Tuesday March 7 at 16h00 UTC

**Where?**

- Same Zoom channel as the regular GSoC Office Hours ([Zoom meeting](https://zoom.us/j/93082176149))

**If I can’t attend?**

- The meeting will be recorded (see comment to this post after the meeting)
- If you have questions/topics you want to be raised during this meeting, make sure to add them as comments to this post.
