Abstract

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 also continuously looking for non-code contributions: documentation, testing, design, and spreading the word. We always welcome experienced and newcomer contributors to join the community.

This presentations is an introduction to contributing to Jenkins, from code and testing to documentation and community outreach. The presentation also covers Google Summer of Code and other opportunities for newcomers to get involved.

Presented by Oleg Nenashev, Mark Waite, Shivay Lamba, and other community members.
