Hi, I was a google summer of code 2020 student at jenkins. I worked on a project uh where we wanted to improve the performance of a plugin called the git plugin. Our aim was to essentially reduce the time taken to run a jenkins job.

I want to tell all of you that, jenkins, being a wonderful community of developers, is a great place to start your open source journey. The reason why I'm saying that I'll tell you the reasons. The first reason is that at jenkins, you get to code along alongside experienced developers who are willing to give their time and motivation to you at each step of the development journey which you're going to have during the summer.

Secondly, gsoc at jenkins is one of the easiest way to deploy your code to a huge community of users, considering the fact that jenkins is one of the most popular automation tool uh used in the software community.

Third, each project that you see in the list is is is chosen with due diligence and careful consideration, make making sure that the mentor you get has the sufficient availability to help you, and also the project, has a huge community value which is very beneficial for you, as well as the community.

To summarize, I had a great time during the last summer and jenkins, I'm rooting for you to have the same.
