What is Hacktoberfest?
Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open-source software. It was started by Digital Ocean in 2014. People from all over the world contributed to make it a huge success. It is now a regular event in October every year.
Why should I participate?
If you are on the edge, and need some motivation / push to start contributing to open-source, this is the perfect opportunity for you. There are loads of cool swag up for grabs!
Swag, you say?
Yes! It varies from organization to organization. The most popular one is of Digital Ocean where you get a cool T-shirt on submitting 4 Pull Requests.
