Hacktoberfest - Do we want to participate this year?

[Oleg Nenashev]

Hi all,

Last year I was proposing to push Hacktoberfest a bit and to invite new contributors using it.  Unfortunately I did that too late, so it landed flat. The new Hacktoberfest starts, so I propose to try again: https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/. I should have created it before the previous governance meeting, but better late than never.

What exactly do I propose?

• Add "hacktoberfest" labels to the key components
• Jenkins core, jenkins.io
  
• Plugins with many installations (I am ready to add Role Strategy from my hall of shame)
  
• It's already in Remoting since the previous year (it is soooo newbie-friendly, yes)
  
• Review "newbie-friendly labels", add more tickets to that
• Create a blog-post announcing Hacktoberfest on jenkins.io and providing guidelines
• Mark Waite has already contributed some guidelines and call for contributions blog
  
• We could reference the existing content
• Suggest @code-reviewers as a review source
  
• Maybe: Send stickers to new contributors who get more than 5 pull requests merged into the Jenkins project?
  

Such approach costs us almost nothing, but OTOH we could get more contributors and to encourage the existing ones. And I am happy to drive this activity.

WDYT? If there is no votes against, I will go forward an prepare a blog-post (ETA: Wednesday).

BR, Oleg

I am for this :-)

Like last year, I think this is a good opportunity, so I say "just do it."


Let me know if you need any help (outside of the usual blog post review
process).

I agree.  Let's invite more participants.
