Agreed and well said. I simply meant that if a hackfest is conducted regarding how to begin contributing to open source, we can add or give an overview about GSOC/OPW as popular programs for working full time on big open source projects. GSoC/OPW will not be a part of central/main focus of hackfest. *The main idea and theme of hackfest would still remain Contribution to Open Source for extreme beginners and how to get started[1] with it easily.*
