@abhayku2002: You are a little bit too early. We have not even defined the project ideas for 2022. Or do you have something specific in mind that you want to contribute?
see https://www.jenkins.io/participate/, this is a good room to have a look at https://gitter.im/jenkinsci/newcomer-contributors
@abhayku2002 if you're interested in the coding side and Java, you could experiment with the contents of a workshop that I presented at DevOps World 2021. See "Contributing to Open Source" at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PKYIpPlRVGsBqrz0Ob1Cv3cefOZ5j2xtGZdWs27kLuw/edit#heading=h.hvd0nm6pz5o4 . Document includes a link to five videos that illustrate portions of those topics.
@alyssat posted in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2022: Call for organizers, mentors, and project ideas - https://community.jenkins.io/t/google-summer-of-code-gsoc-2022-call-for-organizers-mentors-and-project-ideas/1010/1
Hi everyone! My name is Kris and I am a new contributor to Jenkins, currently working on some PRs aiming to improve the conventional-commits-plugin repo. I would like to volunteer for GSoC, either as an organization admin or as a mentor. I have previously involved with GSoC twice as a student, once in 2019 and the other in 2020 under the OpenAstronomy organization, having successfully completed two projects then. Is there any good project ideas for me to develop on? And am I eligible to volunteer?
Welcome @stu01509 and @krisstern:matrix.org . Delighted to have you both interested in the Jenkins project and Google Summer of Code. You can read more about Jenkins in Google Summer of Code at https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/ . The project ideas from 2021 that were not implemented in GSoC 2021 are good candidates to start. See https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/2021/project-ideas/ for the list of all ideas. Project ideas from 2020 are also good sources of ideas at https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/2020/project-ideas/ .
Thanks @MarkEWaite I am interested in volunteering though and not participating as a student, I am not a student anymore
krisstern: i was going to reach out to alyssa on your behalf, but at the moment I think https://community.jenkins.io/t/google-summer-of-code-gsoc-2022-call-for-organizers-mentors-and-project-ideas/1010 might be the best place to reply for now
Hi, I just started to take a new career path by learning Python. I have limited experience on C++ and VB. Just heard about the Google Summer of Code. Is it limited only to college students, or could anyone else getting started in the open source community be accepted?

Just would like to add that most Jenkins projects available this year (2022) are Java-based, so it may be a good chance to pick up a new language or to gain more experience in using it on a meaningful project, especially for those who started in some interpreted languages like Python.
Welcome @Akshatkamboj14! For the project ideas please see https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/2022/project-ideas/. Please note that the projects this year fall into either the Plugins or the Tools category.
@Sachin-Liyanage yes, the Jenkins project plans to participate in Google Summer of Code this year. Read about it at https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/ . Current project ideas for 2022 are listed at https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/ . We're open to other project ideas as well
Just had some confusion. https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/2022/project-ideas/automatic-spec-generator-for-jenkins-rest-api/ . This particular issue dates back to 2020. Is this particular project a part GSOC 2022

I am Vihaan Thora, and I am planning to participate in GSoC for the first time this year. I am new to open source and to Jenkins, but I am very excited to study & understand more about it. I am currently working on an issue in
jenkins-infra/helm-charts and I am extremely humbled to see the helping nature and openness of the community. Thanks a lot to all for establishing an open source project of this grandeur!
Hey, community! I am Sweta. I am looking forward to becoming a part of the Jenkins by contributing to the "Automatic Specification Generator for Jenkins REST API" project and subsequently participating in GSOC 2022. I spent a fair amount of time understanding the requirements, and I am deeply interested in the project. To get in good shape for writing a proposal, I would first like to contribute along the lines of the aimed project. Hence, I request you to help me spot an issue/repo in accordance with REST API automation.
Welcome @swetak20 There are some details about newbie-friendly issues you can start working on on the project idea page at https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/2022/project-ideas/automatic-spec-generator-for-jenkins-rest-api/
Hi All. We've scheduled a Jenkins GSoC office hours for next week. Pls see here for info: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OpvMWpzBKtKnYBAkhtQ1dK5zQix3D7RY5g3vDJXkSnc/edit?usp=sharing
Hey everyone, I am Ajay. I am excited to be a part of the Jenkins community. I am interested in contributing to the project "Jenkinsfile Runner Action for GitHub Actions" and subsequently participating in GSOC 2022 for the first time. I have used Jenkins in my past projects along with Docker and Github Actions, so I am very much comfortable with Jenkins and other tools. I really like this project and found it very interested. I want to contribute to this project and make it ready.
Thanks for your interest @Ajaypathak372 . Read the project idea, review the Google Summer of Code guidelines, and become more involved in the Jenkins project. You can also join us for Google Summer of Code office hours next Friday morning 8:30 AM India Standard Time. I believe that @krisstern:matrix.org plans to attend that session. We will likely need to schedule office hours at an alternate time in order for @oleg-nenashev to attend.
Hey everyone, I am Daud, a final year student at Bugema University Uganda reading BS in software engineering. I am excited to be a part of the Jenkins community and I am interested in contributing to the project "Automatic git cache maintenance on the controller" and subsequently participating in GSOC 2022
Hey! Welcome Daud. Happy to see you joining and wanting to participate. Welcome aboard...
Good question @kdaud
Let's wait for @MarkEWaite (the potential mentor) to come online (he is located in the US). He is the best person to give you hints on that subject.

You will need at least a functional Maven and Git/Github access. An IDE definitely helps. IntelliJ is quite popular. But use the Java IDE you are used to.
Initial step would be to compile a plugin (in this case the Git plugin) and get familiar with it. Another good entry point is https://www.jenkins.io/doc/developer/tutorial/.
I just saw that on the proposal page (https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/2022/project-ideas/automatic-git-cache-maintenance/) , Mark gave links to Newbie Friendly issues. Worth starting to look at while waiting for Mark to come on-line.

Hello, I had a query regarding the office hours meet to be held on Friday. The meet agenda currently includes only the finalized project ideas, so I wanted to know if there will be more such meetings if some of the other ideas get finalized as well. I am currently studying about
Pipeline Step Documentation Generator improvements and also find the Plugin Health Scoring system idea interesting. Thank you.

Hello @jmmeessen:matrix.org have been successful to set up my dev environment and would like to have Jenkins server running locally on my machine. If I got your point right concerning compiling a plugin, do we have a repository where this plugin is residing so that I clone and compile it?

Thanks @jmmeessen:matrix.org . There are moments when one may not avoid handling one task at a time due to the need of that time. I also find some moments landing into the same scenario but any way finds my way out after settling the ones that are pressing on the table.
