+<h2>What is a CommitFest?</h2>
+
+A <a href="https://commitfest.postgresql.org">CommitFest</a> is a period during
+the PostgreSQL feature development where
+<a href="https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Committers">committers</a> and
+<a href="/community/contributors/">contributors</a> focus on
+<a href="https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Reviewing_a_Patch">reviewing</a>,
+<a href="/developer/testing/">testing</a>, and getting patches committed.
+Patches are registered in the
+<a href="https://commitfest.postgresql.org">CommitFest application</a>,
+which PostgreSQL developers use to track the patch status.
+
+There are typically 5 CommitFests in a major release cycle: July, September,
+November, January, and March. The March CommitFest is the final CommitFest in a
+major release, which is followed by "feature freeze" and the beginning of the
+<a href="/developer/beta/">beta</a> period. A
+"<a href="https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/CommitFest_Checklist">CommitFest Manager</a>"
+manages a CommitFest and has responsibilities to help manage the list of
+patches.
+
+Anyone can participate in a CommitFest and it is a great way to get started
+contributing to PostgreSQL. You can submit a patch to be included in a
+CommitFest, sign up to review a patch, or become a CommitFest Manager
+(though CommitFest Managers tend to have some level of experience in the
+community).
