    Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Soumyajit Chatterjee, a second-year Computer Science student from India, passionate about Kotlin, Gradle, and improving developer experience through better tooling. I recently submitted my GSoC proposal for the project “Clean and actionable reporting for Gradle code quality plugins for Kotlin,” where I focused on integrating tools like Ktlint, Detekt, and Diktat with the Gradle Problems API to deliver more structured, consistent, and IDE-friendly reporting. I'm sharing a copy of the submitted proposal here for reference and would truly appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or thoughts from the community. I'm really excited to be part of this space and look forward to learning and contributing alongside you all! 😌

    Hi everyone, Arpit here! @Oleg Nenashev @Ksenia Shneyveys — is there a group or channel for the Gradle convention plugin related to Jenkins plugin development? I’ve submitted my GSoC proposal focused on migrating the Gradle JPI plugin codebase from Groovy to Kotlin, and I’m very interested in collaborating on this and related open-source projects.

    For the Build Server Protocol Project Task one asks applicants to write Gradle plugin How do we represent that in the Proposal should we directly include the code in proposal or link the Github repository with the output screenshots in the readme? If anyone can help me! thanks!

    Hi, GSoC community! kodee welcoming Thanks to all of you for your interest, ideas, and submissions! We received a record number of proposals - 123 this year, and their quality and creativity made it tough to select the final list. After careful review, our mentors and GSoC organizers have selected 8 proposals to move forward this summer. Thanks again to everyone who contributed, stay tuned for the progress updates!

    Congrats again to all accepted contributors! I plan to do the first office hours next week for the teams, Gradle or not, the timing poll is here. The goal is to discuss community bonding and help teams to get started. It is totally optional and you can ask everything on Slack, but the office hours are also a goo thing to join if you participate in GSoC for the first time. Meeting poll - https://calendly.com/d/cndn-jt4-29x/gsoc-2025-in-kotlin-foundation-office-hours.

    Hello Why was the build server protocol not selected in final proposals? Like you decided not to move forward with the idea or were the proposals not proper?

You're of course welcome to have a dedicated channel for the plugin in the Gradle Community Slack, but I can totally understand if you want to proceed on this Slack

    @Ksenia Shneyveys just in case, do we have a Kotlin Foundation slides template somewhere? I'd like to put together a few slides for today's kickoff, mostly about community bonding & expectations (and will run them by you, too).

    I want to join the team on some of the projects. I have also been put as a contributor, but I have no project. Furthermore, I would like to be able to work on one of the selected projects. For me, all the projects are interesting, especially those that have won, so let me know who might be interested in having help on the project.

    Hi all! During the mid-term evaluations, we will do a live stream to report on the projects and their progress. Each contributor will have 10 minutes to present on the project (summary, delivered changes, plans for the next phase + mainly live demos), and then we will have 5 minutes for Q&A and mentor feedback. While this presentation is not mandatory (discuss it with your mentors), everyone is welcome to join. Each contributor is welcome to either present live or submit a prerecorded video, and we would love to have mentors on the call, too. Please vote for the stream time slots here - https://calendly.com/d/cv2n-htr-px9/gsoc-2025-kotlin-fndn-project-demos-mid-term-eval
