Hi Gagan and Federico, *Hacktoberfest* seems very promising. Honestly, I hadn't heard of it earlier but after going through the details of the event and reading past experiences, I think *hacktoberfest* is one more good platform for developers to familiarize themselves more with open source. It might not be as famous as *GCI* but we can go for it.
If I read it correctly it is a month long event starting October 1 (for this year). So if we are planning to participate (which I think we should), we should decide upon it this week itself (the sooner the better). Also *Google Season of Docs* seems a very good chance to improve our docs and make it friendlier (am saying for the coming years).
