Interview
summary
Open Hatch runs a website and Outreach events that actually pair newcomers with concrete starter tasks, and the claim is that clarity plus training grows projects. Evidence includes running a university weekend that draws 51 applicants for 20 slots and keeping contributors through Debian mentors mailing list work. The team builds interactive training missions on the site that teach bug trackers, patch review, and newcomer tasks, and early events show strong enthusiasm and repeatable results.
