Dear all, On behalf of the Jenkins Google Summer of Code <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/> org team, I am happy to announce that the Jenkins project *has been accepted* to GSoC this year. Congrats and thanks to all mentors, org admins and students who has contributed to it!
Just to provide some numbers, this is the biggest GSoC ever, 206 organizations participate in GSoC this year. And it will be hopefully the biggest year for Jenkins as well. We have 25 project ideas <https://jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/2019/project-ideas/> and more than 30 potential mentors (and counting!). It is already more than in 2016 and 2018 all together. There are many plugins, SIGs and sub-projects which have already joined GSoC this year. And we have already received messages and first contributions from dozens of students, yey! *What's next?* GSoC is officially announced, and please expect more more students to contact projects in our Gitter channels and mailing lists <https://jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/#contacts>. This year there will be less traffic in the Developer mailing lists until projects are announced, because communications move to SIG and sub-project channels. Student project proposal deadline is April 9th, and we will be working hard in order to help students to find interesting projects, to explore the area, and to prepare their project proposals. We will send more information to mentors and students in separate emails. *I am a student. How to join the project?* We invite you to follow the student guidelines <https://jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/students/> and to reach out to potential mentors using chats and mailing lists listed in project ideas. If you do not see anything interesting, you can propose your own project idea <https://jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/proposing-project-ideas/> or check out ideas in other organizations <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/>, you can even propose your Jenkins-related ideas there. *And what about mentors?* We are also looking for more project ideas and for Jenkins contributors/users who are passionate about Jenkins and want to mentor students. No hardcore experience required, mentors can study the project internals together with students and technical advisors. We are especially interested in ideas beyond the Java stack, and in ideas focusing new technologies and areas (e.g. Kubernetes, IoT, Go, whatever). This blogpost <https://jenkins.io/blog/2018/12/26/gsoc-2019-call-for-mentors/> by Martin d'Anjou provides the guidelines. If you want to propose a new project idea, please do so by March 11th so that students have time to explore them. You can also join already published project ideas as a potential mentor. Stay tuned for more announcements about GSoC. If you want to know more about the project, consider joining our Gitter channel <https://gitter.im/jenkinsci/gsoc-sig> and the jenkinsci-gsoc-all-public <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/jenkinsci-gsoc-all-public> mailing list.
