#257 Fedora's Representation for Hacktoberfest 2021
Closed: Fixed by t0xic0der. Opened by t0xic0der.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

We had our Hacktoberfest representation from the community last year and albeit we started late to prep for it, it was a success. Now that we are almost starting from a month before, we probably should do it again - what do you folks think?

Things to take care of

  • Get an inventory of repositories at GitHub which can be potential candidates to Hacktoberfest contributions
  • Create and tag self-contained and well-documented issue tickets as hacktoberfest for repos on GitHub
  • Connect with the design team to help create posters/banners to promote the community's Hacktoberfest representation
  • Possibly bring in the awesome folks from the Community Outreach Revamp and have their two cents about this
  • Set up push mirror from stub GitHub repositories to actual Pagure repositories in order for the participant's PR to be counted
  • Reach out to folks with repos at the Easyfix page asking them to tag their existing easyfix issues with hacktoberfest
  • Prep slide deck / talk for an event that can go as long as 90 minute, with multiple speakers to onboard new folks to community

@t0xic0der : what's up with this one? (sorry, I've been out of the loop hactoberfest wise)

@ankursinha, we didn't have an official representation due to our limited capacity at that point in time and the multitude of events going on simultaneously. So the Websites and Apps Team took a lead on this and we tagged multiple issues from Mote (my namespace, before having it migrated to fedora-infra) as well as Easyfix (my namespace) with hacktoberfest labels.

The responses were great and we had a lot of contribution at around that time. So much so that I can call this ticket, and the event for that matter, a success and having one such in the future, should there be the capacity, can be easily incentivized. Thank you @riecatnor, @bcotton, @siddharthvipul1, @darknao, @lilyx, @misc, @thunderbirdtr, @copperi for helping me out on this. Closing this ticket as fixed now.
