Hello,

Sreekanth +1 for your idea.

Mike, I was one of the host Mozilla Sprint 2018. We have 10-15 dedicated
people in our community. They are are interested in opensource. I will
engage them if you could start these type of initiative on  l10n, QA,
Document writing etc.


Thank You

Dear Mike,

Yes. I was referring to the similar events. Having this sprint as a group
activity in different locations would encourage more people to contribute.

Having some goodies - even virtual like small certificate of appreciation
- softcopy would do - would encourage more and students to participate in
such events.

We can have our hack fests and Sprints. We need to encourage more and more
students and young people to contribute. It also should help them to learn
and add some value to their life.

It will be great if we have good collaboration with development team and
if they could classify the issues that could be take up in Sprints/Hackfest
into different levels and mark them as Beginner (Easy Hack), Medium, Expert
(or 5 levels) according to their wish.Also it could be prioritized and
marked as urgent, non-urgent, etc.  Provide only those issues similar to
the way we present in Sprint week page.

Share this information across different social media and urge the sprint
teams to join us online on one or two days across the world. In case of
Mozilla they used Gitter and ether pad for collaboration.

Most important thing is that if the contributors/sprinters have something
to take hope as a token of appreciation would encourage lots of people to
join. Even stickers, softcopy of certificate would be a good option.

We can take this up. Is it possible to get contact of the people who
organised the hack fests in past?


​Sincerely,

We can have Sprint like concepts for the Libre Office projects alone

with appropriate promotion.

Thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds a bit like the hackfests

that we have done in the past, albeit with a broader focus. We're also

doing things like this:

sprint-week/

The main thing is finding the time to organise and run them, so if

anyone has ideas and wants to help out, we'll support you to the best of

our capabilities :-)

Cheers,

Mike
