[scikit-learn] Fwd: Featuring scikit-learn in Hacktoberfest 2016

[Andreas Mueller]

Hey all.

Wdyt (see below)? I'm always for new contributors ;) - Though it does 
add overhead.
I'm not sure I want to add a label, but being on the page seems a good 
thing, I think.

Hi,

My name is Andrew Starr-Bochicchio and I'm on the Community team at 
DigitalOcean.

In an effort to create some excitement around contributing to open 
source in the month of October, DigitalOcean and GitHub are partnering 
to run the third annual Hacktoberfest. We challenge people to get 
involved by creating at least four pull requests to open source projects 
over the course of the month. Everyone who completes the task gets a 
limited edition t-shirt. Last year we saw 14,419 people sign up, and 
5,708 people create at least four pull requests 
<https://www.digitalocean.com/company/blog/looking-back-at-hacktoberfest/>. 
We're hoping for even more this time around.

Pull requests can be to any project, but we also like to use 
Hacktoberfest to feature a number of projects that we love, most 
prominently on the landing page (see last year's for an example 
<https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/>). We are hoping to feature 
scikit-learn, but I just wanted to check in with you and make sure you 
were interested.

Additionally, this year we'll be encouraging project maintainers to 
label issues on GitHub "hacktoberfest" so that we can get even more 
projects involved and send contributors to where the help is most 
needed. So spread the word if there are other projects you think might 
be interested.

Please let me know if you'd like to be featured on the landing page, if 
you have any questions, or if there's anything DO can do to help.

Thanks!
