The Hacktoberfest has been created by Digital Ocean and occurs every year in October https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/
the goal is to help developer to jump into the code of open source projects.
people tag some tasks to indicate that they can be performed by a new developper and ensure a minimum mentoring.
As we are in October and the question of involving people has been raised several time, I would like to give a try and see what we can do.
