It isn't clear what exactly is the event about - is it about teaching newcomers how to get into contributing to the FOSS projects, or about kickstarting your own FOSS projects? The vague info seems to mostly talk about "your project", so it seems to be the latter?

I'm more interrested in the contributing side of things, but that doesn't seem to be mentioned in the info. Anyone has more information in this regard? I really like the idea, but if I don't have my own project in mind and don't want to start anything and just contribute, would it be for me?
