I am Martin, one of the Jenkins GSoC Org Admins for 2019.
We are preparing for the 15th edition of the famous Google Summer of Code program. Jenkins successfully participated in 2016 and 2018. GSoC is as program where students are paid a stipend by Google to work on a free open source project like Jenkins, at full-time for four months (May to August). Mentors get actively involved with students starting at the end of February when students start to apply (see the timeline <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline>). Before we can accept students, we need Google to accept Jenkins' application to the program itself. And for this to happen, *we need coding project proposals and mentors*. We currently have a list of project idea proposals <https://jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/2019/project-ideas/>, and *are still accepting new project proposals, mentors, technical advisers, and subject matter experts*. Making a project idea proposal is easy, read the quick start instructions <https://jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/proposing-project-ideas/>. Mentoring takes about 5 to 6 hours of work per week (more at the start, less at the end) to mentor a student. In return, one of your projects may get completed. Think about those projects that you've always wanted to do but could not find the time... GSoC is a pretty good return on the investment. You can find the GSoC admins, mentors and participants on the gitter chat https://gitter.im/jenkinsci/gsoc-sig Best Regards, Martin d'Anjou Jenkins GSoC Org Admin Team 2019 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
