Add Hacktoberfest 2020 guidance from cdf

[a-roberts]

This has a few Dashboard ideas I can make issues for if they don't exist, and some guidelines so if anyone does want to pitch in to Tekton and become a contributor, they have an idea of where to start.

I'll work on fleshing out the Dashboard ideas too, hopefully with @AlanGreene and @eddycharly!

Would love for more folks to pitch in with cool ideas for each project area next 😄

This is for #188

Update: I agree with @eddycharly's proposal, decentralised this, provided guidance, and a link to the CDF's page for goodies

For the Dashboard issues:

• import resources improvements: Add support for specifying git revision on Import Resources form dashboard#1550 and Update Import Resources to support use of generateName dashboard#1552 have the initial requirements, can be fleshed out more with suggestions
• workspace support for Create TaskRun / PipelineRun Ability to bind Workspaces dashboard#1283

Added an item to the Dashboard WG agenda for next week too.

Updated, thanks

Regarding the Dashboard, one contribution area could be with translations.

Adding a sort of theming support (light and dark themes for example) could be fun too.

Ah, and there's pipeline run graph support too.

Good points, I'll add entries for translation support (I know @AlanGreene has a PR for this tektoncd/dashboard#1712), themes, and graphs now 😄 we can eventually then get some issues made and linked here

I'm wondering if anyone from the other project ideas wants to pitch in with their thoughts for something new, let's poke

@dibyom @vdemeester @afrittoli @abayer @bobcatfish

ideally it won't just be "awesome stuff we want people to work on" but "awesome stuff that may be interesting for first timers and is a little bit out there/different"

Not sure if having tables here listing issues is going to be practical to manage.

Maybe we should have a simple welcome guide here, and add an hacktoberfest label to the relevant issues in each repo ?

In the welcome guide we can present each project briefly and explain newcomers how to find the relevant issues, how to assign an issue to themself so that someone else knows that it was already picked up, etc...

Then in the issue itself, we could state things like the level of difficulty of the issue (not all issues are going to be easy to implement), some background infos (previous work, challenging areas), some contact information, relevant docs, etc...

I mean, the more the issue is self contained the better, no ?

Yeah, I agree, updating this is proving irritating as it is and a decentralised approach is much better. I'll change this to contain guidance for both soon-to-be contributors and maintainers, and get the labels made for the projects I can (Dashboard and Experimental I think)

@eddycharly done, and the notes I had for Dashboard ideas are (here for brevity so we can go about making issues and labelling them):

Docs / website / katacoda enhancements
Import
from catalog by version?
Kubectl apply doesn’t work with generateName (needs to be a create) which is used in a lot of examples in the pipeline repo, so should the action be customisable or use a different method to import the resources? https://github.com/tektoncd/dashboard/issues/1552
Support git revision https://github.com/tektoncd/dashboard/issues/1550
Workspaces not supported for TaskRuns and PIpelineRuns https://github.com/tektoncd/dashboard/issues/1283
Anything for chains? Looks like no CRDs
Single namespace install revisit (docs) https://github.com/tektoncd/dashboard/issues/1018 and https://github.com/tektoncd/dashboard/issues/1507
Security revisit (anything preventing adoption)
Platform support - try and doc
Any links/common themes to the other Tekton project areas?
Update roadmap with progress to date / changes in approach etc.

Thanks, i created issues for theming and pipeline run diagrams.

I think we're all done here except for the todos, I'm hoping to follow up on those with the CDF, but would like other projects to start thinking of doing the same thing with the labels next 🐱

[AlanGreene]

Here's hoping for quality contributions #hacktoberfest

There are some changes we need to make if we want tekton to be opt in hacktoberfest. https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/hacktoberfest-update

Good catch, I don't have the option to add topics for repos, perhaps something we can do at a higher level? @bobcatfish or @vdemeester perhaps?

We can indeed add the topic on projects 👼 and labels 😉
@a-roberts can you open a PR updating https://github.com/tektoncd/plumbing/blob/master/label_sync/labels.yaml so that we create those labels ? once this is done, let's get this one merged and add the topics 😉

Thanks for taking a look, how about tektoncd/plumbing#607? I haven't tested it though 🤞 getting late here so will take another look tomorrow if there are problems
