Hello: everyone here, I'm going to introduce you to the google summer called and jenkins community with my own experience in the last year, so my g-stock journey in the jenkins community starts by a draft proposal full of comments from mentors and ends by two plugins with hundreds of installations, along with the daily coding review, the weekly meeting and the growth of the project, I increased my skills on programming and became a much more eligible engineer.

What is more, the support from the whole genius community needs me to agree leads me to a broader career path. I learned how to maintain a project, how to communicate with users and other developers on github.

Most importantly, the jenkins community teaches me the principles of the open source world and welcomes me to this wonderful place with all their kind help here are some benefits that I think jenkins community can bring. You first jenkins is the most widely used stair system in this world, so it's pretty easy to get in touch with thousands of users, which means your code is very making values. Second, the jenkins project has a history of more than 10 years and and the community grows every day, so lots of experienced engineers are contributing to it.

You can definitely get lots of help and other advice from them. Third, everyone in this community is friendly and kind. They have obvious hours every week, lots of meetup quick response channels that always place the students in the top priority.

So you can talk with your mentors and and just look at the means in the community anytime about your problems and the concerns, and you can always get solutions. So that's a summary of my own experience in the nasty year. I wish you all have a wonderful and productive summer with jenkins community in this year's google summer of code.
