Hacktoberfest 2021 has been officially announced: https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/ ! As always, we will be participating in the Jenkins community. We will have a grand opening on Oct 02 as a part of the Jenkins contributor summit. We are also looking for featured project ideas, speakers (contributing to Jenkins contributor experiences, etc.) and event organizers!

I am thinking on proposing a featured topic about “French translation” because the french coverage of Jenkins is there but not fully covered and it’s a really easy way to begin to contribute for French speaking persons 
I have in mind to add it to Hacktoberfest and I think I am going to prepare an Epic in Jira, is it ok to have an Epic just for hacktober fest, like “French translation for Hacktober fest 2021” ?
I have in mind to do a search to see if I can take some already existing issues (I have only found one so far JENKINS-61489)

Happy to support it @ajard !
The hacktoberfest topic “translation” is ready for review, I am not sure on who to ping, if anyone here want to have a look feel free to do it Proposing a french localization topic for hacktober fest 2021 by aHenryJard · Pull Request #4561 · jenkins-infra/jenkins.io · GitHub
I had some DM to do other language (it seems to be a very easy first contribution for people that are comfortable in other languages than English) so I added it, but with the warning that I can only review French one.

Hi, I have looked to participate to Mattermost project as part as hacktoberfest (I didn’t finally… not enough time sadly…) but I have see that they are using this for language Languages @ Mattermost Weblate and I found it awesome. I don’t know if Jenkins localization could fit there but it would be way more easy for people to contribute to languages. So I am sharing the link to whoever is interested
Hi, FYI a French 
blog on Hacktoberfest (Duchess & Jenkins), I am preparing a shorter English version for jenkins.io blog… soon… (shorter because I am not so good on translation 
)
Thanks a lot for the French version! Could you please post it on social media? I will get the French social media accounts to repost it
