Introduction - (Exploring Jenkins for GSoC 2026)

Hello everyone!
My name is Prince, and I am a Computer Engineering student from India.
I am interested in contributing to Jenkins for Google Summer of Code 2026.

especially in areas related to: Java development, Jenkins plugins, Beginner-friendly issues, and CI/CD concepts.

I am currently learning Git & GitHub, Jenkins setup, and Java fundamentals for contributing effectively.

I would appreciate guidance on: Good-first-issues, Recommended plugins for beginners, Setting up the Jenkins development environment, and How to start with my first contribution.

Thank you! I am excited to learn and contribute to the Jenkins community :blush:
