Contributing Scala OSS in Hacktoberfest

Zoom Link: https://zoom.us/my/ignasimarimonclos

Hi community !!!

From ScalaBcn, we will be collaborating with the Hacktoberfest which is a global 1-month event focused on promoting OSS (Open Source Software).

Abstract

In this meetup Ignasi will do a quick intro to how to contribute to an OSS project and he'll present a high-level overview of the Akka ecosystem and help locate low-hanging fruit tasks for you to contribute.
This will be a great opportunity to push your Hacktoberfest (https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/) contributions forward!
If you want to code during the meetup (and you are highly encouraged to do it) make sure you fulfil the following requirements.

Requirements:

1. you have a jdk 8 and jdk11 (recommended AdoptOpenJDK) installed

• recommend using sdkman (https://sdkman.io/))
• `sdk install java 11.0.8.hs-adpt`
• `sdk install java 8.0.265.hs-adpt`

2. you have an IDE (IntelliJ or VSCode)
3. you have sbt (https://www.scala-sbt.org/download.html)

• `sdk install sbt`

4. you have `git` installed

Bio:

Ignasi works at Lightbend currently as a team member on the Akka team where he breaks builds for a living. He's been working full-time as a OSS contributor for several years.
