Hi Mayur,I have conducted similar sessions like contributing to open source, GIT and other VCS (SVN, Mercurial etc.) hands on. I haven been an active contributor to Redhat JBoss Security (GSoCer 2014) and currently working upon JBoss KeyCloak (for GSoC 2015).My own submitted session[1] is different and is not related to Getting Started with Open Source . My idea was if organizers feel that your session/hands on is feasible or in case you are allocated a slot, we can get it conducted together or I can join you in the session/hands on. :) I am myself not a part of organizing committee.Also, your session will do make sense in my personal opinion if there will be huge participation from students.On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 8:58 PM, Mayur Patil <ram.nath241089@gmail.com> wrote:Thanks !!Hi All,
Sorry for late reply and insufficient info about my session.1. Meaning for contributing to open source is:So as all folks are saying, the candidate should have some familiarity with opensource.
Actually, I want to teach Newbies about the Git and Github with hands on.
For those who are quite familiar with opensource and want to get started as coding contributor but don't know How.
If I am conducting such session, then should I call it as "Hackfest" (?)
2. And actually I would like to work with Giriraj in his session if time permits so add a bit of guidanceSeeking for guidance,
for how to get started with opensource.On 24 February 2015 at 19:08, Giriraj Sharma <giriraj.sharma27@gmail.com> wrote:AgreedSankarshan, KushalIt would appear more of a general talk/session rather than a hackfest. As Mayur Patil had initially given a thought about it, he can prefer to submit a talk/session on it and not a hackfest session. I am a contributor to JBoss Security (Picketlink, Keycloak) since Jan 2014. If the slot for talk is allocated or looks feasible, I would be happy to join him. In addition, I have also submitted a session for my own talk.--On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 6:50 PM, Kushal Das <kushaldas@gmail.com> wrote:On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 2:07 PM, sankarshan <foss.mailinglists@gmail.com> wrote:

Generally we do not call that a hackfest. I was thinking about writing
the same. But you already did with better words :)
