Hello Ben and thank you,
I'll be glad to help.
After work I'll take a look at the Jenkins build machines for Windows to see
how can I help.
Have a nice day,Meca Alexandru

Welcome, Alexandru.
If you have a .NET background, I am going to guess that you are
developing on Windows. We are especially looking for Windows developers
because we have no active core Windows developers and several reports of
the build failing on Windows that we are unable fix because core
developers are on Ubuntu, Debian, and MacOS. If you have trouble
building on Windows, it might not be your fault. You might need to build
with -DskipTests to get started. You might also find an Ubuntu virtual
machine useful; any of your pull requests will be tested with Travis CI
using Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty).
GeoSolutions have a Windows build server:
http://winbuild.geo-solutions.it/jenkins/
These important builds are failing:
http://winbuild.geo-solutions.it/jenkins/job/GeoTools-Master/
http://winbuild.geo-solutions.it/jenkins/job/GeoServer-Master/
If we can get the build working on Windows again, it would give us
confidence that GeoServer works properly on Windows. You might be in a
position to be of great assistance to us. We are here to help.
Kind regards,
Ben.
