Hacktoberfest promotion

[stichbury]

Ticket to cover various devrel work on Hacktoberfest, to include:

• Create a graphic to use when promoting/requesting contributions
• Create social posts to use on Mastodon (Kedro account)
• Create suggested copy for LinkedIn for personal posts by the team, using the graphic.
• Create copy for Slack to promote the event, using the graphic
• Create incentives? Shall we order some stickers for people that contribute with a "I was there, Kedro Hacktoberfest 2023" kind of thing? If so, we can mention these in the copy above. Alternative incentives could be adding them to the #kedroids channel, named in the release notes and call out in our channels
• @astrojuanlu you mentioned some sites that list projects looking for contributions. Can you include links/list them here please?
• Create a section in "In the Pipeline Oct 2023" Write and publish "In the Pipeline" October 2023 #113

With the stickers, there's no rush to get these as long as we agree we will do them. We can mention them and get them created and sent out for end of month, but we don't need them for the start of the month.

I got some fun sticker ideas :)

So WDYT @stephkaiser and @astrojuanlu are we going to make stickers? Reason I'm asking is that I'm drafting In the Pipeline and am wondering whether to promise them. I guess we don't have to, and can reward contributors after the fact, but mentioning it as an incentive would be even better.

@stichbury depends on budget i guess! i have some stickers mocked up in case we want to get them printed, just let me know :)

[astrojuanlu]

I'll ping you about stickers :)

Sites I found to promote Kedro or at least make sure we appear:

• https://goodfirstissue.dev/ (Update Kedro URL DeepSourceCorp/good-first-issue#648)
• https://www.codetriage.com/ (https://www.codetriage.com/kedro-org/kedro)
• https://up-for-grabs.net/ (Create kedro.yml up-for-grabs/up-for-grabs.net#4250)
• https://www.firstissue.dev/ (Add Kedro lucavallin/verto#221)
• https://hacktoberfest-projects.vercel.app/
• The #project-sharing channel of the Hacktoberfest Discord (https://discord.com/channels/720788516837261322/735506115810426971/1159539545931530280 ✔️ )

We could also rework kedro-org/kedro#3130 into a blog post on Dev.to https://dev.to/t/hacktoberfest23

OK, so can we divvy up the rest of the work on this. Here's my suggestion (I'll tackle on 6th October):

@stichbury TO DO ON 6th October

• Create copy for Slack to promote the event, using the graphic, and publish it
• Create suggested copy for LinkedIn for personal posts by the team

@astrojuanlu

• Create social posts to use on Mastodon (Kedro account)
• Follow up with sites listed above to get details correct or added where not yet visible

[astrojuanlu]

The only remaining item left is defining the incentives. Getting their PRs merged in a high-profile project + getting named in the release notes and the Slack announcement (as we usually do with community contributions) could be enough of an incentive. Do we think we need more?

Do we think we need more?

STICKERS.

Closing as Hacktoberfest 2023 has finished.
