DevOps World, formerly known as Jenkins World, is one of the largest online events which includes various tracks for automation practitioners, and various community and open source sessions. This year this will be a virtual event on September 28-30. There will be multiple tracks, including the Community and the Continuous Delivery Foundation tracks. Any Jenkins-related talks are welcome! The Call for Papers Deadline is May 20, 2021.

During this session Alyssa Tong and Oleg Nenashev will introduce the Jenkins community agenda and then talk about the call for papers and the application guidelines. Then we will have a Q&A session where we will answer any questions from the meetup participants. Join us if you are interested to submit your talk!

Kezhi Xiong, our GSoC 2020 student, talks about his Google Summer of Code experiences with the Jenkins community. Kezhi was working on the support for GitHub Checks API in Jenkins plugins: https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/2020/projects/github-checks/ .

More about Jenkins in Google Summer of Code: https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/

Jenkins is a very diverse project with many opportunities to contribute and many technology stacks. Some examples: Java, Javascript, Golang, Groovy, Docker, Kubernetes. And it is not only about code, we are continuously looking for non-code contributions: documentation, testing, design, and spreading the word. We always welcome experienced and newcomer contributors to join the community.

At this meetup we talk about contributing to Jenkins and how to get started. We will also talk about various outreach projects and specifically about Google Summer of Code which is starting soon. There is also a Q&A session where we answer questions from participants.

Mark Waite describes his experience as a mentor in Google Summer of Code 2020. MArk was mentoring the Git Plugin Performance Improvements project. https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/

Natasha Stopa, our GSoC 2019 student, talks about her Google Summer of Code experiences with the Jenkins community. Natasha was working on the new Plugin Installation Manager tool for Jenkins: https://www.jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/2019/plugin-installation-manager-tool-cli/ .

➡️ Continuous Delivery Foundation: https://cd.foundation/

The Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) serves as the vendor-neutral home of many of the fastest-growing projects for continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD). It fosters vendor-neutral collaboration between the industry’s top developers, end users and vendors to further CI/CD best practices and industry specifications. Its mission is to grow and sustain projects that are part of the broad and growing continuous delivery ecosystem.

Jenkins is a free and open source automation server. It helps automate the parts of software development related to building, testing, and deploying, facilitating continuous integration and continuous delivery. It is a server-based system that runs in servlet containers such as Apache Tomcat.

Spring of Code is a 4-week long program designed to help you contribute to open source and learn something new every week. At the end of the program, we hope to prepare you to apply to programs such as GSoC and Outreachy.

Program Structure:
Week 1: Meet the Project Maintainers
Week 2: Find your project and join the community
Week 3: Learn the best practices of contributing while also making your first contribution
Week 4: Get a chance to harness your soft skills, all with guidance from experts. Also, learn some tips for writing proposals.

Throughout the program, you will also be a part of an engaging discord community of fellow coders. It will be also joined by industry experts to answer your questions.

Prerequisites: None
Everyone is welcome to join!

Jenkins Online Meetup for Hacktoberfest 2020. Includes suggestions for areas to contribute including code, documentation, and more. Provides a demonstration of building the jenkins.io site locally for development, examples of submitting pull requests from github.com, and a migration of plugin documentation from the Jenkins wiki to GitHub.

Oleg will show how to migrate a plugin documentation from Jenkins Wiki to GitHub. We will take a plugin and perform a full migration of the docs: initial export, copy editing of the pages, moving changelogs to GitHub releases, creating a pull request to the plugin and finally doing a plugin release.

Materials:
* Plugin migration guide: https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2019/10/21/plugin-docs-on-github/
* Export tool: https://jenkins-wiki-exporter.jenkins.io/
* Event page: https://www.jenkins.io/events/online-hackfest/2020-uiux/
* Migrated plugin: https://plugins.jenkins.io/chucknorris/
* Pull request from the session: https://github.com/jenkinsci/chucknorris-plugin/pull/99

Mark Waite reviews the goals of the Jenkins Wiki migration project. He demonstrates the steps to collect, transform, and publish content from the Jenkins Wiki site to the Jenkins documentation site (jenkins.io). He shares the categories of information on the Wiki and how we’ve prioritized the effort to include that information in the Jenkins documentation. A page is migrated from the wiki. It identifies likely problems and discusses how contributors can resolve those problems.

The session also shows how to report your Hackfest contributions at https://github.com/jenkinsci/ui-ux-hackfest-2020/issues/new/choose .
