We are pleased to announce that we will be participating in this year's Hacktoberfest.

5 minutes read

For those who don't know: Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open source software run by DigitalOcean. During this month, everyone is invited to join open-source software enthusiasts, beginners, and the developer community by contributing to open-source projects.

We are looking forward to participate again this year and to inspire as many people as possible for open source.

How can you participate?

In order to make your life easier, we created a list of "good first issues" (they are also labeled with "hacktoberfest") that are easy pickings and should get you started.

Rewards

  • Get an official hacktoberfest t-shirt for four approved pull requests (PRs) on opted-in projects between October 1-31 in any time zone.
  • Or plant a tree.

Details

  • The pull request must contain commits you made yourself.
  • If a maintainer reports your pull request as spam, it will not be counted toward your participation in Hacktoberfest.
  • If a maintainer reports behavior that’s not in line with the project’s code of conduct, you will be ineligible to participate.
  • A pull request is considered approved once it has an overall approving review from maintainers, or has been merged by maintainers, or has been given the 'hacktoberfest-accepted' label.

Happy hacking month!
