Hacktoberfest Preptember

[Jean-Marc Meessen]

Hello,

As you know, Hacktoberfest starts in two weeks. And the Jenkins community will participate again in this month-long celebration of open-source.

As maintainer you can prepare by  

• Reviewing and flag issues on your repos (hacktoberfest and/or newbie-friendly)

• Flagging your repositories as accepting pull requests counting for Hacktoberfest. This year is explicit "opt in". You can do this by adding the topic "hacktoberfest" to your GitHub repository.

As usual, be kind and remember how you felt with your first contribution.

During October, for Pull Requests to be counted towards the hacktoberfest swag threshold, they must be flagged as "hacktoberfest", merged or flagged as "hacktoberfest-approved" (if merge will happen later).

If you feel that a PR is spammy or invalid, flag it as such. Any user with two or more spammy PR/MRs will be disqualified.

See the PR handling details on hacktoberfest.com.

Hello,

Just a friendly reminder: Hacktoberfest is getting closer everyday.

We currently have 72 projects participating in the "jenkinsci" and the "jenkins-infra" organisation. Are you sure that your project is counted? Are your proposed issues tagged?

To check if your repository is marked as participating, you can use this query: https://github.com/search?p=2&q=org%3Ajenkinsci+org%3Ajenkins-infra+org%3Astapler+topic%3Ahacktoberfest&type=Repositories

We are now at 109 participating repositories: 10 in the jenkins-infra org and 99 in the jenkinsci org.

Are you sure that your project is counted? Are your proposed issues tagged?

This is an example of an alternative query (requires GH): gh search repos --owner=jenkinsci --topic=hacktoberfest --include-forks=true  -L 150

And if anyone doesn't want to opt the whole repo in (maybe too much work required over the month) you can still tag PRs as `hacktoberfest-accepted` so it counts, but means fewer potential drive-by/low quality contributions

Hi Jamie,

Thank you to point this out: obviously the opt-in requirement has been relaxed. The exact wording is

YOUR PR/MRS MUST BE IN A REPO TAGGED WITH THE “HACKTOBERFEST” TOPIC, OR BE LABELED “HACKTOBERFEST-ACCEPTED.”

Hacktoberfest is now opt-in for maintainers, so only contribute to projects that indicate they’re looking for Hacktoberfest PR/MRs.

Once your PR/MR has passed this check, we won’t check this again (unless your PR/MR fails a check before this, such as it being marked as spammy).
(in https://hacktoberfest.com/participation/#pr-mr-details)

There is also "Add the “hacktoberfest” topic to your repository to OPT-IN TO HACKTOBERFEST and indicate you’re looking for contributions."

But, as Jamie hints, it is important that maintainers monitor the submitted PR to see whether they qualify for hacktoberfest and tag them accordingly.

For anyone who is maintaining an older repo that doesn't have all the "newer" labels synced up (great for the default release drafter setup)

I have https://plugins-self-service-3ir4b.ondigitalocean.app/ which can copy labels from  (Huh, the PR never got merged, but https://github.com/jenkinsci/.github/pull/27 pr which has all the standard labels)
