Hacktoberfest 2021: Celebrate Open Source with Cloud Study Network!

Hacktoberfest is a month-long celebration of open source software run by DigitalOcean. It consists of a challenge that encourages people to contribute to any open source projects. The first 70,000 participants to complete the challenge will receive a bunch of free SWAG, including a limited edition Hacktoberfest t-shirt as a reward.

In this call we'll discuss the rules and share experiences around the Hacktoberfest challenge.

What’s new for 2021?

• You can now have PRs submitted via Gitlab count towards your Hacktoberfest goal!
• Participants are encouraged to show appreciation to their favorite projects by donating directly to their repos.

What’s staying the same?

• We’re keeping all of the maintainer-friendly opt-in and pull request review changes that were put in place last year. Check out all of the rules here: https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/resources
• When it comes to events, have it your way! From office hours to Twitch streams, we’re counting all Hacktoberfest-related virtual gatherings as an official event.
• Want to give back to open source and the environment? Plant a tree instead of receiving a t-shirt.
• There’s plenty more in store, so make sure to check out the Hacktoberfest website https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/ for all the ways you can get involved this year.

See you in Hacktober!
