Hello, 

My name is Georgiy and I live in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. I study 
Information Science at SPbPU and at the moment I'm in my 3rd year.

My university collaborates with Altera corporation which is famous for its 
FPGA boards and EDA-tools for FPGA design. One of them is Quartus II 
(recently renamed into Quartus Prime) that has an almost full-featured free 
version.

The fact is, Quartus II provides very functional command-line interface and 
supports Tcl scripting. So it's possible to create a plugin for Jenkins to 
integrate it with Quartus II and make the FPGA design process a lot easier! 
:) Even small FPGA projects take considerable time to build as there are 
dozens of utilities incorporated into the design flow - that's why CI would 
be useful for big projects which can take very long time to build. And 
automation of testing and verification would be very useful, too.

I think that such a plugin would be quite helpful for developers that work 
with Quartus II especially considering the fact that for now there are no 
EDA-integration plugin for Jenkins at all (I've checked plugin 
repositories, too). 

Personally I am interested in that project ("Plugins for EDA and Embedded 
Dev. tools integration") and I have all the skills that are required 
<https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Google+Summer+Of+Code+2016> 
for it:

   -  basic knowledge of Jenkins (as a user);
   -  basic knowledge of Java programming language (apart from study 
   projects I created a game for Android and took part in developing an 
   application 
   <https://bitbucket.org/WhiteCodeSolutionLab/iot-logmerger/overview> that 
   automates work with log files in distributed systems);
   -  hands-on experience with Quartus II (almost 1 year) and a prototyping 
   board (prodvided by the university).
