We're just over a month away from Hacktoberfest[1], a month-long event where people can earn a t-shirt by contributing to open source projects (or at least ones hosted on GitHub). It occurs to me that we could have a post on the Community Blog (or maybe Fedora Magazine) that directs folks toward Fedora or Fedora-adjacent projects on GitHub. This is a good opportunity to get meaningful drive-by contributions and perhaps add a few consistent contributors.
So if you were going to point the Fedora community at a GitHub-hosted project, what would you choose?

Well, I think the obvious choice would probably be a subset of projects from https://github.com/fedora-infra - something like bodhi, python-fedora, fas, and fedora-packages. I don't know how approachable those projects are for newcomers, but since they're written in python, it can't be too bad, and there are some issues marked as "EasyFix" as well.
(Im also working on rust bindings for bodhi and koji at https://github.com/ironthree, which could also use some help. </shameless-plug>)

Sure, but do check with us first, since fas and fedora-packages are both in maint mode/zombie walking. bodhi is a good active one, there's probibly others.

What about noggin? Can we get some Hacktoberfest-qualifying issues for people to work on there?
What about the Feedback Pipeline service [1] I'm working on for minimization? The code [2] is on GitHub and I even have a few issues with things to do.

Maybe Something from the sigs,sigs often require blogs setup etc.That could be a easy starter issue.Jekyll is pretty easy.

Hi everyone,
We're just a few days away from the start of October, which means Hacktoberfest[1] is upon us! Here's a list of projects I plan to highlight in a Fedora Magazine article. If you have any others to add, please let me know in the next day. If you're an admin on any listed project and have particular contribution areas you want highlighted, let me know. You may also want to add the "Hacktoberfest" label to issues that are suitable for new contributors (issues do not need to be tagged in order to qualify).
- Bohdi: https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi - the-new-hotness: https://github.com/fedora-infra/the-new-hotness - koschei: https://github.com/fedora-infra/koschei - mirrormanager2: https://github.com/fedora-infra/mirrormanager2 - fedora-messaging: https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedora-messaging - bodhi-rs: https://github.com/ironthree/bodhi-rs - fedora-rs: https://github.com/ironthree/fedora-rs - koji-rs: https://github.com/ironthree/koji-rs - feedback-pipeline: https://github.com/minimization/feedback-pipeline
And a pitch for adopting these: - fedocal: https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedocal
