Are any Libcloud maintainers interested in taking the ownership and leading those efforts?
This would include creating an announcement blog post, creating some Github issues which are appropriate for first time contributors, documentation, hosting office hours, etc. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Daniel Zaltsman <dzalts...@digitalocean.com> Date: Tue, Sep 22, 2020 at 5:38 PM Subject: Rewarding Maintainers For Hacktoberfest 2020 To: Daniel Zaltsman <dzalts...@digitalocean.com>, Lorraine Nasser < lnas...@digitalocean.com> Cc: Hacktoberfest Maintainers <hacktoberfestmaintain...@digitalocean.com> This email is only being sent to maintainers of OSS projects that have received Open Source Sponsorship from DigitalOcean, have previously participated in Hacktoberfest, or both. Hi folks, Every year we aim to make Hacktoberfest a better experience for the maintainers who bear a unique burden of incoming contributors in October. This year, we’ve created Preptember, a September-long initiative to educate beginners and give you more time to prepare. Joining forces with DEV, GitHub, and our important partners, we’re committed to educating the community on how to submit quality pull requests with a focus on quality over quantity. But we know this is not enough. That’s why we’ve found new ways to reward you for your time and energy. Here’s what we’ve packaged into the Maintainer Love Kit: 1. $25 Open Collective <http://opencollective.com/> Gift Card for Individuals 2. $1,000 in Ethereum towards your project through Gitcoin <https://gitcoin.co/> 3. A Hacktoberfest-themed maintainer wallpaper <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZZHX_nV4m-y59fAjUdhpTxQtB3TseCtj/view?usp=sharing> 4. Access to join DigitalOcean’s OSS Sponsorship Program <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P1ZqpxgKtiNibtWs53dLeCBmfp47Nqi6QlRg74lbsAc/edit> 5. DigitalOcean swag item <https://store.digitalocean.com/doswag> of your choice Not So Fine Print: We are able to offer option (1) and (2) only to the projects and maintainers who actively work on Hacktoberfest this year. Projects "working" on Hacktoberfest means projects that make some kind of announcement around participation, label / respond to at least 10-20 relevant issues / threads, and participate or organize a Hacktoberfest event <https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/eventkit> (this can simply be office hours as many projects do.) If you are interested, please reach out to hacktoberfestmaintain...@digitalocean.com. We know these rewards are just a starting point; we’ll commit to continue to do more in the future to make Hacktopberfest a better experience for you and your fellow maintainers. Thanks again and see you in October! Happy hacking, Daniel Z. Manager, Developer Relations DigitalOcean PS: If you've already taken the time to add labels like "help wanted" or "up-for-grabs" to issues on your project, this script <https://gist.github.com/andrewsomething/cd9bd46ab1faa12df1f86797492f784d> might be useful for you. It will add the "hacktoberfest" label to any issue that already has one of the specified labels. PPS: Show off your projects and find open source contributors for Hacktoberfest by dropping your project into this thread <http://dev.to/devteam/whos-looking-for-collaborators-hacktoberfest-2020-jl89> on DEV. You’ll need a DEV account — sign up here <https://dev.to/>.
