Hello @Greybird

I am Jenkins Developer Relations and promoting Hacktoberfest@Jenkins. I am collecting stories of this year's participants to share with the community.

First of all, thank you very much for contributing to Jenkins during this Hacktoberfest. It is much appreciated.

This is why I am reaching out to you to better get to know you as a community member and a contributor. Would you mind to answer the following questions?

• Who are you? Where are you located? What do you do for a living?
• Is it the first time you participate to Hacktoberfest?
• What are your motivations?
• Did you already contribute to Open Source before?
• Why is Open Source important to you (as you are contributing)?
• What did you contribute to during this hacktoberfest?
• What do you experience as most difficult when contributing to open source?
• What would you say to others that are hesitating to contribute (because of lack of skills/fear/...)

You can reach me privately via jean-marc@meessen-web.org.

If it is easier for you I could setup a call during one of your evenings (I am located in Europe) and have a short chat together. I would love to hear from you so that I have a better grasp of the multiple facets of our Community.

If you answer in this comment, by mail (or if we setup a call), would you be OK if I share your story (anonymously or by mentioning your name) with the Community? It would be either during a Hacktoberfest related livestream or a blog post. I strongly believe that sharing real human stories would motivate people to make the step and join us during this month or later.
