New contributor interested in Jenkins & GSoC 2026

Hi everyone :waving_hand:

I’m a computer science student and I’m new to open source.
I’m interested in contributing to Jenkins and preparing for GSoC 2026.

I’m currently exploring the Jenkins codebase and contribution process, and I would really appreciate guidance on:

  • Beginner-friendly issues
  • Repositories I should start with
  • Any documentation I should read first

Looking forward to learning and contributing to the Jenkins community.
Thank you!
