Hello, David! Nice to meet you! I also apply to Jenkins for GSoC this year.
Although, as I see, you have good experience, I would still suggest you get
some experience with Jenkins before writing a proposal. To better prepare
for the process and increase your chances to be selected, I would suggest
to find some areas of improvement in Jenkins on which you would like to
work and discuss them on this mailing list. You may write your proposal
draft and get mentors' feedback and suggestions. They are very responsive
are eager to help applicants. You may take a look at other students'
discussions to get a better sense of the process. Finally, there are office
hours where you can discuss details and your personal questions.
Good luck with the process!
