Hacktoberfest: Contribute to Open Source in October

GitHub and DigitalOcean are hosting a month-long, worldwide hackathon in October. Open four pull requests to open source projects hosted on GitHub during the month of October and get a free t-shirt. Bonus: you get to contribute to open source!

The Software Guild (http://www.thesoftwareguild.com/) has graciously offered to host a hack night for us Code Clubbers. Bring your computer, a few snacks and fall-themed beverages if you like (food is not being provided), and get your OSS on!

Never contributed to open source and don't know where to begin? No problem! Feel free to attend our optional Introduction to Open Source Development (https://www.meetup.com/AkronCodeClub/events/225945616/) session one hour before the hack night begins.

Official Hacktoberfest details can be found on the GitHub blog (https://github.com/blog/2067-hacktoberfest-contribute-to-open-source-in-october) and the DigitalOcean blog (https://www.digitalocean.com/company/blog/hacktoberfest/).

"Celebrate open source this October by participating in Hacktoberfest, a month long festival of code organized by DigitalOcean and hosted on GitHub."
