Introduction - Debojyoti De Majumder from IEM Kolkata

Hello everyone,

I’m Debojyoti, and I’m excited to begin my journey as a contributor to the Jenkins project, with the goal of preparing for GSoC 2026.
While I’m comfortable with C++ basics, my stronger expertise lies in JavaScript, TypeScript, and React, along with being highly adaptable and quick to pick up new tools and workflows.

To get started effectively, I’d appreciate guidance on a few points:

  • Where can I find beginner-friendly or first-timer issues to contribute to right away?

  • Which Jenkins repositories or plugin projects are the best starting points for someone new to the ecosystem?

  • Are there any setup steps, contribution guidelines, or best practices I should complete before choosing my first issue?

I’m genuinely excited to contribute consistently, learn by doing, and collaborate with the community.

Thank you!
Debojyoti
