Very nice event and blog.

I wonder about the hackathon: did you, Razvan et al., 
pre-selected a list of bugzilla issues to work on?

About the intimidacy of contributing bugfixes: it could be worth 
trying to demonstrate during a lecture how fixing such an PR 
actually works, including the (technical) process of submitting a 
PR, with all the comments, naming conventions, etc.

Thanks!

We do have a keyword, "bootcamp", for simpler issues, but
some of those could be fairly complicated, therefore,
we internally selected a list of 10-20 issues that we
considered trivial.

That's an interesting proposal. It could potentially benefit both 
future
DSS students and first time contributors. Thanks for the 
suggestion.

Cheers,
RazvanN
