I've just run into a random reference to GSoC 2024 and wanted to check if that stream of possible contributions has been previously considered, in the context of Roc. Also, same question regarding Hacktoberfest.

My understanding is it's a bit too late for organisations to apply to GSoC's 2024 edition, but this might be a suitable avenue to explore for further editions. It does have its associated time commitments, in terms of mentor availability, I believe.

For reference, there is a "Programming Languages" category, and the full list of participating organisations (across all categories) can be found here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2024/organizations.

we've done Hacktoberfest in the past, but it was before we had a real roc-lang.org website and the language wasn't nearly as far along...probably worth revisiting both that as well as GSoC!

Nice! Thank you for confirming!
